| Every sacred city needs a creation story, and Rome is no different. It's a tale that defined the ancient Romans. And as a tourist, it's a legend you still can't escape. There are glimpses of it just about everywhere. And here it is, two children suckling a she-wolf. It's a timeless vision of human dreams and nightmares - lupine ferocity meets maternal nurture.
