78th Fete du Citron - the She-Wolf of Rome


The famous Capitoline Wolf of Rome, suckling the twins, Romulus and Remus. This seems to me a fabulous representation of the celebrated bronze, but this time in oranges and lemons. Probably my favourite of all the floats this year.

La célèbre Louve de Rome, l'allaitement des jumeaux, Romulus et Rémus. Cela me semble une représentation fabuleuse de la médaille de bronze célèbre, mais cette fois avec des oranges et des citrons. C'est probablement mon char préféré parmi tous ceux de cette année.

  6. Another amazing one!
    What if Romulus and Remus had been raised on orange juice instead of wolf milk?
