Lightning Strike

Lightning Strike by MrJennings.
The leg of the famous Capitoline She-Wolf. According to Cicero, a famous bronze statue of a she-wolf was struck by lightning. This statue shows a repair mark that is sometimes believed to be from that lightning bolt.

(The statues of the twin boys were added in the Renaissance.)
