Talk:Caput lupinum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have studied source materials on the founding of Wolf's Head Society. Though Yale Law School faculty contributed significantly to the founding, I never came across any mention of this legal concept as significant among the early leadership or membership. A wolf's head is part of the society's emblem, yet, it is unexplained in the book on the society's founding or among the society's archived papers. I am removing, therefore, the last paragraph of THIS ENTRY. I will research why was a wolf's head, with an inverted ankh, part of the emblem for THE THIRD SOCIETY, renamed Wolf's Head Society a few years after the founding. Another point in fact: each of the BIG THREE societies at Yale University lifted significantly from ancient Roman culture for symbols, so the author could be correct, particulary if "caput lupinum" was a concept in ancient Roman culture.SLY111 (talk) 18:03, 31 December 2012 (UTC)SLY111[reply]

In Roman society[edit]

The article suggests that caput lupinum was a concept in Roman society. Is that really the case? Melchoir (talk) 10:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
