View Larger The icon of Rome’s foundation, a life-size bronze statue of a she-wolf with two human infants suckling her, is about 1,700 years younger than its city, Rome’s officials admitted on Saturday.
The official announcement, made at the Capitoline Museums, where the 30 inch-high bronze is the centerpiece of a dedicated room, quashes the belief that the sculpture was adopted by the earliest Romans as a symbol for their city.

Classics in the Palms of His Hands
‘Antico,’ at the Frick Collection
Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi (about 1455-1528) — or, as he was known, Antico, “the antique one” — was one of the most skilled and innovative sculptors of the early Italian Renaissance, celebrated during his lifetime for impeccably neo-Classical bronze statuettes of pagan heroes and gods. But his achievements were swamped and obscured by wave upon wave of generic desktop-size bronzes in the ensuing centuries, and his name was forgotten until early-20th-century art historians rediscovered him.

Macedonia has started building another king-sized statue of an ancient ruler of Greece in the heart of the capital, Skopje.
Once completed, the 13-meter (42-foot) bronze effigy of Philip II of Macedon will face an equestrian colossus of his son, Alexander the Great, a couple of hundred meters away. Philip will stand on a 16-meter (52-foot) plinth.

Stephon Marbury never seemed destined for much more than mockery stateside, but his fortunes have changed since heading overseas. Marbury has been a star in China, where he led the Beijing Ducks to the Chinese Basketball Association title in March. In honor of Marbury’s role in the championship, the three-time all-star in the Chinese league has been given a bronze statue in his likeness.

So, you have some money and time to fix up your home but absolutely no idea what to do to actually make your space sing?
Enter the Australian Interior Design Awards. Now in its eighth year, the event provides a wealth of ideas for pro and wannabe designers.
Your interiors may bear no resemblance to the eclectic insides of Huntingtower, the stately 1890s Melbourne home, built by eminent Australian architect John Beswicke, that last week won the 2012 residential decoration gong. But according to the chairwoman of the award’s residential jury, Susan Rossi, that’s no reason you can’t incorporate some of the latest decorating trends into your own pad.
If you’re looking for this particular aesthetic for your own interiors, we suggest perusing Bronze Co’s unparalleled collection of ancient art.
