ラテラノ宮殿
When the sculpture was first erected is unclear, but a number of mediaeval references mention a "wolf" standing in the Pope's [[Lateran Palace]]. In the 10th-century "[[Chronicon]]" of [[Benedict of Soracte]], the monk chronicler writes of the institution of a supreme court of justice "in the Lateran Palace, in the place called the Wolf, viz, the mother of the Romans." Trials and executions "at the Wolf" are recorded from time to time until 1438.
