Description
Cave Canem Mosaic The Cave Canem Mosaic is apart of a wide collection of Animal Mosaics. This reproduction was found in Pompeii in The House of the Tragic Poet and illustrates a black dog surrounded by the latin quote: Cave canem! in English Beware the dog!. These words, much like similar signs today, warned visitors to enter at their own risk and served as protection over the more private quarters of the home. Material: Marble Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm View Photos For Further Details.
