Image description

s. n. Whole artwork view. Birth of Romulus and Remus told by an uninterrupted narration on a unique landscape; Mars descends flying towards Rhea Silvia who sleeps on the grass; on the left, three characters wearing a gown in front of a temple, where a fire burns on an altar; Anthos, Rhea's cousin, persuades her father non to kill her but to abandon in the river Tevere - whose personification is in the male figure lying down left - the twins who will generate the love between Mars and Rhea; Mercury, recognizable thanks to the typical hat and stick, called petasus and caduceus, and winged sandals, points the babies the she-wolf is breastfeeding beside a cliff; at right, with arms up, the personification of the Giuturna fount; from Casa di M. Fabius Secundus.
