"Romulus Marking the Limits of Rome" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Giuseppe Cesari, also known as the Cavaliere d'Arpino, created during the late 16th or early 17th century. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes located in the Sala dei Horatii e Curatii, a room within the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. This series of frescoes is dedicated to the early history of Rome, depicting various legendary and historical events that are central to the city's founding myths and traditions.

The fresco captures the moment when Romulus, the legendary founder and first king of Rome, is said to have traced the sacred boundary of the city with a plough, a ritual act known as the "pomerium." According to Roman mythology, Romulus, after having killed his twin brother Remus in a dispute, went on to establish the city of Rome. The scene typically shows Romulus, accompanied by a group of followers, marking the city's future walls, an act that symbolizes the legal and sacred foundations of the city.

Giuseppe Cesari's rendition of this pivotal moment is characterized by his Mannerist style, which is known for its elegance, elongated figures, and dynamic compositions. The fresco is a testament to Cesari's skill in creating dramatic narratives through his art, and it reflects the importance of Roman history and mythology in the cultural and political life of the city during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

The Sala dei Horatii e Curatii itself is historically significant, as it was a place where the city's magistrates, known as Conservatori, would meet. The room's frescoes served not only as decoration but also as a reminder of the virtues and history that were to inspire the leaders of Rome. "Romulus Marking the Limits of Rome" stands as a key work within this context, encapsulating the themes of authority, foundation, and the sacred origins of the city.

As a piece of cultural heritage, the fresco contributes to our understanding of the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Rome, as well as the enduring influence of classical antiquity on the arts. It remains an important work for scholars studying the iconography of Rome's legendary past and the artistic legacy of Giuseppe Cesari.
