Rome takes its name from the Capitoline Wolf, the bronze statue that represents the wild goddess Luperea, protector of flocks from wolf attacks. According to the most widespread version of the myth, in the 7th century suckled two runaway babies, Romulus and Remus, saving their lives.
Near my house there is only one flock of sheep. We neighbors know the shepherd's schedule and routines, and he takes care to have them properly marked with cowbells that allow us to know from a distance where cattle are.
