In Roman mythology, wolves hold a significant role, particularly in the tale of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. According to the myth, the twins were condemned to death by King Amulius of Alba Longa and cast into the Tiber River. However, the river god Tiberius calmed the waters, allowing a fig tree's roots to catch their basket near the Palatine Hill, the future site of Rome. Here, the infants were discovered and nursed by a she-wolf named \"Lupa,\" as depicted in numerous artworks from across the Roman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing their rescue, the twins were later found and raised by a shepherd and his wife, Faustulus and Acca Larentia. Throughout Roman history, the wolf symbolized the strength and power of Rome, thus frequently appearing in art and on coinage of both the Republic and the Empire. The earliest known statue of the she-wolf suckling the twins dates back to 296 BC, reflecting the enduring significance of this myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, dedications to the she-wolf, such as those to the 'Roman she-wolf' and the 'august She-Wolf,' highlight the close association between this symbol and the Roman state.

During his reign (AD 81-96), Domitian implemented various measures to strengthen the economy, expand the empire's border defenses, and rebuild Rome's infrastructure following damage. However, his governance also exhibited authoritarian tendencies, with Domitian promoting a cult of personality and seeking to control public and private morals.
