The Capitoline Wolf depicts the infants Romulus and Remus with a mother wolf and is a replica of the ancient Etruscan statue on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, according to the City of Cincinnati website.

It was gifted to Cincinnati by the City of Rome in 1931, city officials say.

The motion will be voted on during the budget and finance committee meeting Monday at 1 p.m.

I am proposing that the City offer a $50,000 reward for the return of the Romulus statue. Police believe this to be the work of scrappers, which is why we must work quickly to spread the word before this historic statue is lost forever. See my motion below. pic.twitter.com/XKlXyRSC1G
