#cavecanem

The mosaic picture of a domesticated dog, leashed and chained, with the words “cave canem” (beware of the dog) written under the animal, greeted (or, well, warned) visitors upon entering the house. The figure served as protection over the more private quarters of the 2nd century BC Roman home, one of the most famous at the site thanks to its elaborate mosaic floors and frescoes depicting scenes from Greek mythology.

CAPÍTULO REEMITIDO AGOSTO En este capítulo reemitido de Cave canem iremos a la cama: sexo romano con Laura Díaz López, una historiadora que vive en Toledo y que sabe un montón del tema. Y hablaremos de la mujer romana con nuestro profesor Toni Conejo y de una locución latina con Miguel Ángel Violan. Noticias romanas y toques de humor. Hablaremos de todo esto y más en Cave canem. El último que apague la antorcha.
