I must disagree. in the statue of the Capitoline She-Wolf, she has no outward signs of being nurturing. It’s almost as if she just happened to be in the same place as some babies, and they stumbled upon her teats. It is possible that the Etruscans had a different idea of maternal power than I do, but this peice does not smack of feminine power to me.
