Archaeologists in Italy have unearthed a 2,000-year-old dog-headed
statue beneath a busy street in Rome. The small terracotta statue was
found as part of excavations of a funerary complex on the ancient Via
Latina in the city’s Appio Latino district. Ever since dogs were first
domesticated in the Paleolithic period, humans and canines have lived
alongside one another, but this doesn’t mean that every culture has
idealized the relationship. When they weren’t making terracotta
statues of dogs, for example, Romans were sometimes known to crucify
them.
