World’s History

#Dogs were highly valued in ancient #Rome, as they were in other cultures, and the #Roman dog served many of the same purposes as it did in, say, #Egypt and #Persia - as hunters, guardians, and companions - but with a significant difference in focus.

Dogs and their wolf-ancestors have a long history with the Romans, all the way back to the founders #Romulus and #Remus who were said to be raised by wolves. Other figures from #myth, like Diana and Trivia, had dogs associated with them in the tales of writers like #Ovid.
