JayAg47 Posted June 28, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 A gift from the city of Rome to Cincinnati. They literally sawed off the wolf, leaving poor Romulus and Remus alone! This is why we can’t have nice things. https://local12.com/amp/news/local/cincinnati-she-wolf-stolen-from-the-capitoline-wolf-statue-in-eden-park-romulus-remus-mussolini-gift-cincinnatus-rome-police 1 2 6 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conduitt Posted June 28, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2022 What are they going to do? Melt it down? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Steve Posted June 28, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 28, 2022 Awwww, that's such a shame (that is such a fantastic statue ... oh, and a fantastic subject for many of our cool ancient coins, eh?) Sigh ... cool wolf statues ... man, I sure miss my ol' friend Larry (she was the coolest dog ever!) Fun-fact => I am hiding behind the rock in those photos, holding her leash, while my wife snapped those fun pics 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor KenDorney Posted June 28, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 28, 2022 This is a shame, but scrap metal is still fairly valuable. Crackheads need their fix! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhevae Posted June 28, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 Is there a possibility this statue was stolen by activisits because of its link with Mussolini rather than its scrap value? In both cases, it's a shame anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor Victor_Clark Posted June 29, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 29, 2022 No way this is being melted down as everyone would recognize that it was stolen. This will turn up in some drunken frat brothers house or some drunk stoners house 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambr0zie Posted June 29, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 29, 2022 Disgusting. I never understood why would somebody vandalize art. Wasn't there any kind of security cameras? Not in the place with the statue itself, but somebody could have captured a footage of somebody (probably 2 people) carrying a large object? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPK Posted June 30, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2022 Disgusting. I hope they catch the criminals and recover the sculpture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
