Romania celebrates Roman heritage with...awkward naked Trajan and a levitating wolf in a scarf
From the BBC: "A statue representing the birth of the Romanian nation has been greeted with derision by the public and critics.
The sculpture, unveiled outside Bucharest's National History Museum, portrays a naked Roman emperor Trajan carrying a wolf.
It is supposed to represent the fusion of the Roman empire with the ancient tribes of Dacia."
Any thoughts?
