Irene Iacopi

Irene Iacopi is an Italian archaeologist.

In January 2007 Iacopi announced that she had probably found the legendary cave of Lupercal beneath the remains of the House of Augustus, the Domus Livia, on the Palatine Hill,[1][2][3] believed by ancient Romans to be the cave where the twin boys Romulus and Remus were suckled by a she-wolf. Andrea Carandini a professor of archaeology specialising in ancient Rome described it as "one of the most important discoveries of all time".[4]
