Still Waters Posted May 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The paw prints and hoof prints of a few meddlesome animals have been preserved for posterity on ancient Roman tiles recently discovered by archaeologists in England. "They are beautiful finds, as they represent a snapshot, a single moment in history," said Nick Daffern, a senior project manager with Wardell Armstrong Archaeology. "It is lovely to imagine some irate person chasing a dog or some other animal away from their freshly made tiles." http://news.discover...iles-140418.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaturtlehorsesnake Posted May 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2014 it'd be interesting if they could find something out about the sort of breed of dog it might have been. i think we know the names of some of long extinct breeds, but not as much about physical details. ok, and it's also a very cute story. ancient roman puppies!
