Romulus and Remus
The album cover features a statue of Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome, suckling a she-wolf set against a dystopian background. As Mike Scalzi explained, the cover places "Romulus and Remus in some destroyed civilization. It's a very vague reference to what the album is about. It's sort of mysterious...I wanted a civilization in ruins much like the Kiss cover of "Destroyer"". Scalzi said that the cover is illustrative of the album's technophobic concerns with impact of digital technology upon society, which were informed by his experiences as a philosophy teacher.
