Yeah, but the problem with the Capitoline Wolf is that while the wolf itself may date to the 5th century BC (Etruscan bronze), the infants Romulus and Remus were added in the 15th century AD... It's like drawin' a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Which might be cool to do, admittedly, but it's sorta historically inaccurate.
