Dogs in Antiquity
Virgil H:
I didn't get this one, Tracey, the price went way above my budget. I do like the coin. I think rarity of it pushed it as high as it got. I didn't mean to give impression I owned that coin.

Tracy Aiello:
Hi Virgil,
Ah, you didn't imply that you won it; I simply read the first sentence too fast. Now that I read it again it is obvious to me that someone else won it for 10x your max bid. Perhaps next time, huh?

A wonderful terracotta dog sculpture has been found in Rome during construction work. Probably meant to be roof decoration, it is another example of the love people of Rome felt for their dogs 2,000 years ago.
