A popular nickname for the club is "''i lupi''" ("the wolves") – the animal has always featured on the club's badge in different forms throughout their history. The emblem of the team is currently the one which was used when the club was first founded. It portrays the female wolf with the two infant brothers [[Romulus and Remus]], illustrating the [[Founding of Rome|myth of the founding of Rome]],<ref name="legend_rome"/> superimposed on a bipartite golden yellow over a maroon red shield.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/?query_id=21223833&page=2&brand_id=30492|publisher=BrandsoftheWorld.com|title=Roma|date=24 June 2007|access-date=2 October 2007|archive-date=18 December 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071218003521/http://brandsoftheworld.com/search/?query_id=21223833&page=2&brand_id=30492|url-status=live}}</ref> In the myth from which the club takes their nickname and logo, the twins (sons of [[Mars (god)|Mars]] and [[Rhea Silvia]]) are thrown into the river [[Tiber]] by their uncle [[Amulius]]. A she-wolf then saved the twins and looked after them.<ref name="legend_rome"/> Eventually, the two twins took revenge on Amulius before falling out themselves – [[Romulus]] killed [[Remus]] and was thus made king of a new city named in his honour, Rome.<ref name="legend_rome">{{cite news|url=http://museums.ncl.ac.uk/Reticulum/NORTHERNFRONTIER/WeCameWeSawWeConq/WhereDidTheyComeFrom/Story.htm |publisher=Newcastle University |title=The Legend of Romulus and Remus |date=24 June 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071002172220/http://museums.ncl.ac.uk/Reticulum/NORTHERNFRONTIER/WeCameWeSawWeConq/WhereDidTheyComeFrom/Story.htm |archive-date=2 October 2007  }}</ref>
