This sculpture, unveiled outside Bucharest's National History Museum in 2012, 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. But the work by Vasile Gorduz has not been popular, and has been described by residents of Buchrest as a "monument to Romania's stray dogs". Gorduz, who died in 2008, was a central figure in Romania's art establishment for decades, and in the 1990s was the professor of sculpture at the National University of Arts in Bucharest.
