Together we stand, together we fall...

Interesting which one are your boys?

Marble statue -100–200 AD- of a Molossian dog, an extinct breed. Roman writer Ovid mentioned Molossian dogs in his work. These dogs worked in the Roman army, as guards to add security to the fort. They were also good company and guardians in the richest houses.

Goodbye Lince! The most famous cat in the excavations, our dean, has left us. As beautiful as the sun, father of many of Pompeii's felines, an indomitable stray, guardian of the brothel, and a global influencer, he leaves his memory in the photos of our visitors. He was cared for until the very end by volunteers from Archeogatti Onlus. Have a good trip, Lince! Cat paradise awaits you.

From that happy moment so long awaited, the attachment of the King to the Queen took on all the character of love.

Mini lore snippet lol: at first I just doodled the cat alone in the middle of a page, but I loved him so much I just turned the page and drew the whole thing. He's so great.
