Dog

[Felix Agrippa]

Interesting that it was found, Maybe other pet remains were cremnated as in the roman tradtion. Because humans tend to give pets the same burial they would have.

[Epictetus]

Are you talking about this, the cast from Pompeii?

I always hated this cast. It looks so heartbreaking.

[M. Demetrius]

Of course, that dog in Pompeii wasn't buried on purpose by the homeowners.

[Felix Agrippa]

Not exsactly I had to put my dog to sleep in February of this year, I buried him in my garden. Since dog are a pet and consider part of the family now like in ancient times that perhaps most pets were just cremnated.

[Epictetus]

I don't know if I've ever heard how Romans disposed of pets. This article may be interesting, if anyone has access to JSTOR:

The first page mentions Martial writing about a "monument" and epitaphs, one of which was on a stele.
