The Lupa Capitolina Electronica (LCE) intends to gather all the data
(textual, bibliographical, iconographic, electronic) necessary to the study
one of the fundamental
elements from the legend of Romulus and Remus : the Capitoline She-wolf. It also develops
certain particular aspects of the framework in which its subject appears : the
rich file of the origins and the
first centuries of Rome, which covers a lapse of time ranging between the fall of Troy
(1184 B.C.) and the end of the royal period (509 B.C.).
LCE is first intended for all those, specialists, students, scholars
or curious minded people, who are interested more or less in this period of
the Roman history which presents many incertainties. As it is still
under development and as the matter to be dealt with is vast and multiple, one
will find there for the moment only one list of materials available,
significant but
necessarily incomplete. Periodically updated, this catalogue makes corrections, suggestions or additions
possible.
To make it easier for its visitors, LCE has been divided
into five parts which are parallel and inter-connected by a dense
network of links :
a presentation of the literary data
(with selective informations on the main authors)
archaeological testimonies commemorating
these accounts
an outline of legendary data related
to the
episode of the she-wolf
bibliographical data
(general and thematic) covering books and articles in periodicals
an list of the eletronic resources
now available.
Moreover, in the future, certain
aspects of the
treated matter will be found here in a more detailed form.
