A Roman Wolf mosaic

[bunn]

I am unsure how to describe this Roman mosaic from Leeds museum that endlessrarities just shared.  But I knew when I saw it that it deserves the widest possible audience.

Ha ha ha! That is the happiest wolf in the world - how adorable! It looks like... LSD wolf. Perhaps the artist had some bread with a good deal of ergot in it that day XD I particularly love how the wolf's got a very lopsided grin going all the way up one side of its face, and Romulus and Remus look like they are running away!
