Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a she-wolf. The animal features prominently in pre-Roman, Roman, and later Italian cultures. In Roman mythology, the wolf played a role in the founding of Rome by suckling the twins Romulus and Remus. According to Terry Jones, "The Romans did not see [the tale of Romulus, Remus and the she-wolf] as a charming story; they meant to show that they had imbibed wolfish appetites and ferocity with their mother's milk".Jones, T. (2007), Terry Jones' Barbarians: An Alternative Roman History, BBC Books, The wolf was also considered sacred to Mars, and to see a wolf before going into battle was considered a good omen.Impelluso, L.

The Sabines had two words for wolf: hirpus (used in religious contexts) and lupus, the latter of which was incorporated into Latin.
