Fifth Cohort!” announced Gwen, one of the centurions. “Everyone gather around, please. We’ve got a different plan today.” I liked Gwen. She was my sponsor, which was a big plus in my clearly unbiased opinion, and she was always optimistic. Some people are optimistic in a fake and annoying way, but not Gwen.In imperial time, the Eagle with spread wings became a symbol of Roman power and specifically of the empire. You can read the entire legend of the she-wolf here and you can learn where to the see Roman wolf in Rome here. The acronym SPQR I guess. Hey, I can just trail you, right?” I asked hopefully. The good part about Deathball is that it wasn’t free-for-all. The bad news was that the teams were going to be based on the cohorts. Good enough, except for one thing: Hazel had warned me that the Fifth Cohort (which was where I now resided) was going to be targeted. Yay.

Originating not with the Romans but by the Etruscans, the fasces has become perhaps Rome’s most enduring international symbol. Compared to the eagle or the she-wolf, the symbol itself is visually little-known. Where it survives, however, is in language, where it gives us the root for the word ‘fascism’. Notably, in 9AD, the legion of Varus lost the battle of Teutoburg and, on that occasion, their Eagle. From the creation of the Roman army, emblems, called standards, carried significance.

She had been nice to me since my first day (which was only two days ago, but it felt like forever ago) Another Roman symbol that has become part of our daily symbolic life is the globe. Held by the god of gods, Jupiter, as a symbol of his universal dominion, the globe manifests itself on many coins and statues throughout the Roman Empire. Sometimes portrayed under foot or in the emperor’s hand, it symbolised Roman dominion over all the territory they had conquered. Ancient Romans esteemed the eagle and adopted it as a symbol of victory. Pliny the Elder wrote extensively on eagles, noting that they possessed excellent eyesight and were skilled parents.

So is it possible that when we talk about Romulus and Remus being raised by a lupa , we’ve rather misunderstood the story of their upbringing (or over time have exaggerated the story of their early life being brought up in a brothel instead). He and Lupa were communicating, Lupa in her wolf-twitch talk and him in regular words. As they came closer their conversation became clearer. Now, my translation of Lupa’s communication method was pretty bad, but I was pretty sure I got the gist of it. N. M.
