Statue of Trajan and the She-wolf, Bronze sculpture at National Museum of Romanian History steps in Bucharest, Romania.
The 2.15-meter-tall bronze statue features Emperor Trajan holding a wolf that appears to float above his hands on Calea Victoriei street.
Created by artist Vasile Gorduz and inaugurated in 2011, this monument represents Emperor Trajan who conquered Dacia, now modern-day Romania, between 98-117 CE.
The statue combines Roman and Romanian heritage by depicting the Capitoline Wolf merged with the Dacian Draco, representing the fusion of two civilizations.
Visitors can find this monument on the steps of the National Museum of Romanian History, which houses extensive collections of Romanian artifacts.
The wolf in the statue broke its tail and was removed in 2017, while two identical copies exist in Sevilla, Spain, and Rome, Italy.
