The image is an engraving depicting a classical mythological scene. In the foreground, two men are seen interacting with two infants, who are presumably Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. One man is holding an infant, while the other man is bending down near the river edge, seemingly about to place the other child into a basket placed at the edge of the water. In the background, a town or city is visible on top of a hill or slope, surrounded by trees and landscape. The trees are richly drawn, with detailed foliage and branches adding depth to the scene. Across the river, a she-wolf (referred to as "Lupa" in legends) is depicted near the riverbank. According to the myth, the she-wolf is known for nursing and caring for Romulus and Remus after they were abandoned. The sky is filled with cloud formations, suggesting a typical pastoral scene. The overall style is intricate and heavily detailed, typical of classical engravings interpreting historical or mythological narratives. The image is framed with text written in Latin above and below the scene, further indicating its classical inspiration. The text reads: Top: "ROMVLVS ET REMVS EX MARTE ET ILIA NATI IVSSV AMLII AD" Bottom: "TIBRIM EXPOSITI A LVPA NVTRIVNTVR" Translated, it means: Top: "Romulus and Remus, born from Mars and Ilia by order of Amulius to" Bottom: "exposed to the Tiber and nourished by a she-wolf." This refers to the myth where the twins, ordered to be abandoned by King Amulius, are left on the Tiber River and subsequently cared for by a she-wolf.

This image is an etching or an engraving depicting a scene from Roman mythology. It shows Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, being cared for by a she-wolf. The Latin inscription at the top, "ROMVLVS ET REMVS EX MARTE ET ILIA NATI IVSSV AMVLII AD", and at the bottom, "TIBRIM EXPOSITI A LVP NUTRIVNTVR", together describe the mythological origin of Romulus and Remus, born of Mars and Ilia, and ordered by Amulius to be cast into the Tiber where they are nurtured by a wolf. The scene takes place in a rustic landscape with vegetation and trees. To the left, there's a person carrying another figure on their shoulders, possibly representing the abandonment of the twins, as often part of the story mentions how they were left to die but were saved by the she-wolf. In the right foreground, you can see the she-wolf nursing the infants. In the background, there's a detailed portrayal of a cityscape, which could represent the city of Rome, and on the far right, you can see some form of livestock resting beneath the trees, highlighting the rural setting of this mythological event. The detailed engraving style suggests this may be a work from the Renaissance or a later period that sought to emulate the style of that era. Without knowing the specific artist or origin of the work, it's difficult to provide more context for this image.

This is a historical engraving depicting the famous Roman legend of the twin infants by the Tiber River. The title in Latin at the top reads "ROMVLVS ET REMVS EX MARTE ET ILIA NATI IVSSV AMVLII" and at the bottom "TIBERIM EXPOSITI A LVPA NVTRIVNTVR" (referring to them being nursed by the wolf). The scene shows a wooded landscape with the Tiber River and a hillside town in the background. The composition shows several figures near the riverbank, with a wolf visible in the distance on the right side of the image. The artwork uses typical engraving techniques of the period, with cross-hatching and fine lines to create depth and texture. The image illustrates a pivotal moment in Roman mythology, showing the abandonment of the twins who would later become central to Rome's founding myth. The setting is pastoral, with detailed trees framing the scene and creating a dramatic atmosphere typical of classical artistic representations. This style of engraving appears to be from the Renaissance or Baroque period, when classical themes were popular subjects for artists and printmakers.

The image depicts a scene from the story of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. The scene shows a man carrying a child on his back, while another man is crouched down near a river, possibly about to throw the child into the water. In the background, there are trees and buildings, with a mountain range visible in the distance. The image is an engraving, likely created in the 17th century, as indicated by the style and the Latin inscription at the top, which reads "ROMULVS ET REMVS EX MARTE ET ILIA NATI IVSSV AMVLII AD." This inscription suggests that the image is a depiction of the mythological story of Romulus and Remus, who were said to have been born to the god Mars and the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia. The image is likely a representation of the moment when Romulus and Remus were abandoned in the Tiber River by their uncle, Amulius, who had usurped the throne of Alba Longa and wanted to eliminate the threat posed by the twins. The image captures the drama and tension of this moment, as the man carrying the child looks back over his shoulder, while the other man is poised to throw the child into the water. Overall, the image is a powerful representation of the mythological story of Romulus and Remus, and it provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome.

The image is an antique engraving depicting a scene from a biblical story. It is titled "Romulus et Remus Ex Marte Et Ilia Nati Ivssus Amvli Ad...Tibrim Expositi A Lvpa Nutrvntvr," which translates to "Romulus and Remus, born of Mars and Ilia, by order of Amulius, exposed on the Tiber, are nurtured by the she-wolf." The engraving shows two infants, Romulus and Remus, being cared for by a she-wolf. The she-wolf is positioned centrally in the lower part of the image, with her head turned to the left and her body facing the viewer. The two infants are shown being suckled by the she-wolf, with one infant on her left side and the other on her right. In the background, there is a river, likely the Tiber, which flows from the top left corner of the image towards the bottom right. The river is depicted with detailed ripples and reflections, suggesting a calm and serene environment. On the far side of the river, there is a small town or village, with buildings and structures visible among the trees. The town is nestled against a backdrop of hills or low mountains, which are faintly visible in the distance. The landscape is lush and verdant, with numerous trees and foliage along the riverbanks and throughout the scene. The sky above is partly cloudy, with some areas showing clear blue sky. The engraving is highly detailed, with intricate line work that captures the textures of the trees, the ripples in the water, and the fur of the she-wolf. The engraving is framed with a decorative border, and there are inscriptions at the top and bottom of the image, providing the title and additional context for the scene. The overall composition is balanced, with the central focus on the she-wolf and the infants, while the background elements provide a sense of place and context for the story being depicted.
