Dogs in Greek/Roman culture?
#6
I don't know much about ancient canes myself, but I know that Molossian mastiffs were enormous dogs that were popular for warfare, home defense, etc. They're extinct now, but their descendants include most large dogs today, such as St. Bernards and modern mastiffs. Hope that helps, Amice!
