Luperca

or LUPA, an ancient Italian divinity, the wife of Lupercus, who, in the shape of a she-wolf, performed the office of nurse to Romulus and Remus (Arnob. ad v. Gent. 4.3). In some accounts she is identified with Acca Laurentia, the wife of the shepherd Faustulus. (Liv. 1.4; comp. ACCA LAURENTIA.)

[L.S]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
