Remus Lupin, aka

Wolfson Wolfy, son of Wolf Wolfy, bitten by the Wolfe of a grey back, is the boy who was tragically turned into a werewolf to everyone's shock and surprise

Wolfson: Remus- From the myth of Remus and Romulus, twins raised by a wolf after a mess with prophecies that led to them getting abandoned. (spoiler: the prophecy came true bc that always happens no matter what in greek and roman myths). Remus and Romulus wanted to found a city so they decided to climb up two close hills and watch for birds. Remus saw 6 (?) first but Romulus saw 11 (?) [don't trust me on the numbers] and so Remus thought that this meant he'd be king and founder of this new city but Romulus argued that since he'd seen more birds he should get a city named after him. They dueled and (oops tw: death/murder) killed Remus in the duel. The city is now called Rome

Wolfy: Lupin- lupus in Latin literally means wolf and lupine (pronounced loo-pin apparently) means wolf like

son of Wolf: Lyall- from Old Scandinavian "Liulfr", "ulfr" literally means "wolf".

Wolfy: Lupin- See above

bitten by the Wolfe: Fenrir- son of Loki, a monstrous wolf who will help fuck up the world at Ragnarök (Norse myths's apocalypse) "resulting in the collapse of humanity and society, and kill the god Odin." (from Wikipedia) ... so like the Fenrir that bit Remus

of a grey back: Greyback- ...this is self explanatory I think

(sources:

Remus and Romulus: I did Latin for 4 years

Lupin: aforementioned latin + i speak french + google to check the latin spelling

Lyall's name is kinda stretching it bc the main source seems to be the Harry Potter wiki guessing at the etymology, a vague wikipedia page and a baby name website but i wanted to include it bc well, it's fun lol

Fenrir: the linked wikipedia article + memory)

Ancient Roman Silver Brooch of Romulus and Remus Found in Spain

The Department of Culture of the Generalitat Valenciana has recently announced the discovery of a rare silver brooch, depicting the iconic scene of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf.

This remarkable artifact was discovered during excavations at Vilanova d’Alcolea, a site in Spain believed to have served as an ancient postal building during the Roman era. Archaeologists, led by Josep Carbó, made the discovery, describing it as an exceptional piece both for its rarity and quality.

Romulus and Remus, pivotal figures in Roman mythology, were twin brothers whose legendary tale forms the foundation myth of Rome and the Roman Kingdom. Born in Alba Longa to Rhea Silvia, the twins were the grandsons of the deposed King Numitor. Threatened by their potential claim to power, King Amulius, Numitor’s brother, ordered the infants to be abandoned on the banks of the Tiber River.

Legend has it that the twins were saved by a she-wolf who nursed them in a cave known as Lupercal, situated at the southwestern foot of the Palatine Hill in Rome. Upon discovering their true heritage, Romulus and Remus avenged their family and reinstated their grandfather, Numitor, as the rightful king. However, their story took a tragic turn when a dispute arose between the brothers, leading to Romulus committing fratricide against Remus. Romulus then went on to establish the city of Rome, solidifying his position as its first ruler.

The silver brooch, measuring 4 centimeters in size and dating back to the 2nd century CE, portrays the iconic scene of the she-wolf nurturing the twins in their infancy. This depiction has become synonymous with the founding of Rome since the 3rd century BCE.

The archaeological site where the brooch was discovered holds additional significance. Situated near the Via Augusta, the longest Roman road in Roman Hispania, the site is believed to have been an official post of the Roman Empire, catering to officials and travelers alike. The proximity to this historic route enhances the importance of the find.

Archaeologist, Josep Carbó, emphasized the significance of the discovery, stating, “It is an exceptional piece due to its rarity and quality since there are very few pieces of this type that have been studied.”
