I recently read A Killing Cold by @katealicemarshall.bsky.social It is a brilliant read. Awesome pacing, mystery with many layers that peels slowly. I highly recommend. #booksky

Beware of the dog??! 👀 🐾 Endearing Roman mosaic of a little black guard dog curled up asleep 💤 in the entrance passage of his family home in Pompeii. House of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus. 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology
My photo shows a view through the entrance passage of the house of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus (Casa di Cecilio Giocondo), REGIO V, INSULA I, 26, looking towards the atrium and tablinum. On the floor of the entrance passage is a mosaic depicting a small black guard dog which is curled up asleep. Mosaic depictions of ‘guard dogs’ were popular placed at the entrance of wealthy homes in Pompeii. Lucius Caecilius Iucundus, the owner of this house, was a wealthy banker who lived in Pompeii 2,000 years ago.
