Publius Satrienus - P SATRIENVS
The she-wolf [or lupa] figures prominently in Roman mythology and iconography. The Roman foundation myth holds that the city's founders, the brothers Romulus and Remus, were abandoned by order of the hostile king Amulius of Alba Longa, but were found by a she-wolf, who brought them to her den and suckled them as her own pups. The wolf, both with and without the twins, thereafter became a symbol of Rome, appearing in statuary, mosaics, and finally coins.
