History

After the Romanian occupation, the Romanians placed a replica of the statue of the Capitoline Wolf in Marosvásárhely, referring to their falsely supposed Latin origin. In 1940, Marosvásárhely was returned to Hungary, and the Romanians took the statue to Torda, which remained under Romanian occupation. In 1991, Marosvásárhely, already a Romanian-majority town due to resettlement, reclaimed the statue, but left a copy of the replica in Torda.
