How They Did It - Pet Dogs in Ancient Rome 

Awesome!!!

Ah, the artwork, I just know which artist DID make the ose pics used, but you cut out the best parts.... Still it sits well for me that there are other people who enjoy Manara's great historic art an still make video, which in the end makes me weep, kudos to you maker of this one, you can make brave soul to weep, listening those insriptions for for brave little furballs,,,

That's pure poetry 😢

Oh yes. So, so sad.

ThatGuy, so very true. We had a dog that had a distinctive bark. She died 30 March 2017. She is very much missed.

I straight gave my dog my soft taco cause I was crying and he was looking at me 😭➕🌮🐶

I Honestly Came Expecting Some Horrible Stories About Romans Beating And Whipping Their Dogs Before Using Them As Tools That Get Disposed Of After They Are No Longer Needed. Glad That Was't The Case.

@@JT5555 Really puts things into perspective, huh? Many parts of ancient society may seem pretty barbaric, but people have always been people.

@@dfiala9890 Perhaps. Kinda Hard Not To Expect It,Though From A Culture That Also Used To Capture Lions,Starve Them And Force Them To Fight Warriors In Front Of God Know's How Many People All Just For Fun. I'm Glad They Liked Their Dogs,But Historically Speaking They Were Kind Of Dicks So It's Hard Not To Expect The Worst.

baberuth1000 Dogs are truly wonderful members of the family.

im sure they wrote the epitaphs because they were crying in their room too, 2100 years ago

@@annemcmustard4024 Too soon

when I bought my house the first time I was walking around the yard i stumbled on a set of pet graves from the previous owners (an elderly couple) complete with legitimate carved "headstones" (they're actually footstones for humans but they were carved with the names of the pets... "creature" "buster" and "smoky") when my good boy goes I'm going to put him under with them and pay to make him a marker to match theirs... maybe somebody a few hundred or a couple thousand years from now will see them and be sad for a minute too

I'm crying and laughing at the same time thanks to your comment :")

Kisaki Sakura Not all. Some dogs are assholes

@@ninjaman815 true but those dogs have bad backstories like sasuke

I think that they would have been in wonder and amazed first. Then happy to know that their beloved family member was still being remembered... Then happy to know that we grieved with them. They were very much with camaraderie back then.

No time need to watch alle tv and RU-vid i missed in the last thousand of years

Isn't that kind of what they assumed would happened when they wrote it in a piece of stone?

Maui Randall Yes it might be. Although it is not often that we are able to read epitaphs of fur babies. This must have been such an awesome find... Since it is a very rare find. Most epitaphs that have been made of the past have been erased in time. *EDIT* Sorry about the typos. I was typing while tired on my phone.

Maybe they assumed that, but I doubt they will imagine that thousands of people all over the world, overseas will know about their grief, 2000 years later

They really loved those dogs and might have considered them part of the family

@Stephen Smith Hey, funny seeing you here!

Yep, sad to see both the noble pup and the noble humans who entombed him within marble gone since an age ago...

Hey the Greeks were (and actually still are) dog lovers. I mean Kerboros (Cereberos) literally means Spot. And a lot of Greek places of business allow stray dogs to sleep inside at night and during bad weather. In Greece they dont really 'strays' they have dogs who are part of the community, but do not belong to any single individual. I dont much like my Greek neighbors (loud, foul language even around children, and extremely rude at times) but they did offer to help me hide the evidence if i ever needed to kill our dog hating neighbor, so they arent that bad >.>

Indeed. We are not so different from people 2,000 years ago. Many parts of the human experience like our friendship with dogs stay exactly the same.

@@cube_2593 I hope someday you will get a chance to have a companion animal of your own. When I was 11 I wasn't allowed to have a pet either, but around the same time a lot of hard times hit my family I found a kitten in a gutter. So I took her home and kept her hidden with me at all times (she was a newborn and needed to be fed often). Luckily she was quiet and didn't mind spending most of her time in my jacket or bookbag (I even took her to school). By the time my parents found out about her, she was almost six months old. They let me keep her, and they even took care of her for me when I went away to serve in the Army. She was there to comfort me when I came back with injuries and PTSD, and she always preferred if she was close to my heart like when she was a kitten. She eventually passed away at 20 years old. It was like losing a child, but I don't regret one moment I had with her.

😭😭😭

Amen 🙏

Bone Lad The dog is more worthy of memorial than man, because his loyalty is unquestionable.

And it’s so interesting that even back then some people didnt understand that love and would laugh at it, but at least some people have always felt that a dog’s soul is as noble and deserving as a human

@ you should probably go fuck yourself.

it was very touching. our ancestors. either 2 or 4 legs. was no different than we are today!

As much as things can become very silly in some circles, this is part of the root of the claims of historical bias and such. I wouldn't describe it in terms of prejudice, there are real reasons why some things are recorded more than others, but a lot of history in many cultures is dominated by records of wealthy aristocrat men, oft warriors. The truth however is the majority of humans throughout history were men, women and children (and their companions) who were often slaves or farmers and crafters. Unfortunately the lives and stories of these, majority of people, living in the majority of circumstances away from warfare, is often forgotten, which excludes the kind of stories and expressions in this video. The history of war ought to be counterbalanced by that of peace, and conflict by companionship.

Millenniums!

James Royster 👍

alexander little Fuck off, being a man doesn't make you a fucking rock, everyone's human, i bet you never had a dog before.

Sum Arbor There are those who report having had visions during clinical death when science tells us the needed brain activity has ceased. Seeing family members, pets included, who have passed on is extremely common, though I myself have never once read of those seeing loved ones still alive, which would indeed suggest mere hallucination in that case. I am still not yet 100% sure there is a greater, interconnective power across life and death, but if so, I am sure your doggo is lovingly, patiently part of whatever awaits you.

But , our aunt was supposed to take care of ALL the animals and was told by multiple ppl many times about my bird and she's owned them and hers live ages so she fucking knows how to care for one. right... guess not mine. i could not stay i was like 5-10 somewhere around there, and , i could not bring it (him/her? idk lol) with me. The bird was well cared for every day and in perfect health when i left. Chirping like crazy cuz it didnt want me to go lol. (always tried to follow me around and such) well i come home run to my bird and its sitting there chillin -seeming- fine but i knew something was wrong... the bird dove (jumped/"step up"ed etc.) into my hand looked at me tweeted and...fell over and died 8l..in my hands.. #traumatized kiddo xD... god i was pissed and sad about that and it was just a biig wtf. but the cage hadn't been cleaned, for some reason she opened a window and left it like that while we were gone, and the food was just loaded with the crumbs/unedible parts (that birds and their feed often leave) and no actual food, and dirty shitty gross ass water that was very low... >/ and then the bitch had the nerve to blame me and say we don't take care of our animals and should stop owning them. pfft..

Well, to be fair, how to pet a dog was also described in the video.

The holiest.

I mean, they sound way more appreciative of their dogs than most people these days.. now days people just "toss em acrossed the road" (any animal really) or just dig a hole, cry and move on. they dont set up a real grave or make it all poetic and stuffs.. P:

@@AlphaTengua I think back in the day, people handled their dead better than we do now. They had time to mourn and spend time with their passed ones. We don't really do that too much now a days.

AlphaTengua VENTz Most, if not all, of these graves belonged to the few wealthy families of the times.

Even the leaders who led the busy life were not immune. There is the story about one of the two Censors of Rome, a very responsible post for public works and deciding who would be added or removed from the Senate, which was only held by those who had already been Consul, the leaders of the state. So this Censor had a pet fish, that he kept in a special fountain and would hand feed daily himself and it would come to him when he sat down to greet him. One day it died, and he was sad and the other Censor noticed him and mocked him about feeling sad about the fish. He snarled back "I can expect that from you, you are so cold hearted you have buried several wives without shedding a tear". The two could not work together after that and both had to resign the post and new Censors hired to replace them.

I agree! There is definitely a poetic romanticism to the words of the Ancient past that invoke an almost interpersonal relationship between that person from the past to ourselves - it is a uniquely Human connection not one found to be very clear even to those we share our time with. Same can be said of any ancient texts. We are very fortunate at all the written records we have from Rome. Also, "Helen of Troy" indeed the name suits you. 'v'

@@GaryArmstrongmacgh laid the foundation for modern Western Civilization

Have ye not ever watched a Monty Python movie? Life of Brian! They also laid the foundations of fascism. They stole land even from members of their upper class. They showed our modern 1% how to fuck every class below them! They only gave when it benefited them to hold power. When it didn't, they taxed the fuck out of you! Failing that, they crucified you! Personally, I'm glad my distant ancestors (Picts and German tribes) beat the crap out of them!

@@GaryArmstrongmacgh so... 1. Expand/how? 2. Provide evidence 3. Upper classes exploiting lower classes with their money has existed since the Phoenicians 4. Incorrect, there were several very good men in Roman politics over the years. Additionally, I believe retired members of the Roman army were given very good quality benefits post-service, such as land. 5. Taxes fluctuated frequently in the Roman empire as well as the republic, but I agree they were often too high or subjective 6. You couldn't fail to tax people, local law enforcement would simply come to your door and demand payment... 7. Crucifixion did occur, yes, as do and did several other forms of punishment by death and torture 8. The Germanic tribes only scored a few victories across the eras, with most of the important/significant ones occurring during the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., when the empire was split in two and on its way to falling.

I qualified all that. And evidently you haven't read Roman history very well. There was a period when the highest classes grabbed all the land they could from people who were weakest. As for the Roman Army, the best thing they ever did was when they stopped being asses and let the common man serve as career soldiers. This happened during the Republic. As the Empire came in, the situation for the lower classes became more and more critical. As for the military...Machiavelli 101, The Prince...you keep that power structure strong. It keeps you in power! By the time we reach the Empire, the taxes are horrendous. To debate Roman politics depends largely on what period you speak of. I speak largely of the period around Caesar and just after.

I feel you

There still are some people who keep fish in their bathtubs for a few days before eating them. It's supposed to help make sure they're not contaminated by dirty/polluted water.

Read the Sumerian Texts they farmed fish big time,Solomon had fish ponds in his gardens and the Egyptians kept Barking Catfish as pets, just to name a few. I love fish

Many Romans did dote on pet fish.

I think it was illegal to drive carts through Rome (the city) during the day and so they had to do all the shipping during the nights. Apparently the noise pissed off a lot of residents.

Fat Tiger umm, was it better for the noise to occur when they were sleeping?

Staffaynu, it wasn't, but at least in Early Imperial times Rome had quite a lot of an overpopulation problem. There's imperial edicts where the emperors relentlessly destroyed all the abusive commercial activities in the streets stating it was the only way to free some space for the (too many) people walking. Carts during the day would have made the traffic problem worse.

See, and that is actually really interesting, to me. Cheers for the educational bit

Humphrey Xy Yeah, my Latin is a little rusty.

Cave is is imperative. So it's more like. "Be beware of the dog!" But "Beware of the dog" is a good translation to, because it is the phrase used now a days as well as being close to the original. And I think "attention! dog" is not the best translation, because it isn't a a sentence and cave comes closer to, to be beware of, then it comes to attention!

Just like all dog breeds, Rottweilers have been changed a whole lot since the roman times. Ralph vom Neckar was a Rottweiler who lived only slightly more than 100 years ago, and he looked so different that no modern person would even recognize him as a purebred Rottie. So much for not changing, right? en.working-dog.com/dogs-details/50053/Ralph-vom-Neckar The ancient ancestors you speak of, are the exact same dogs that every other molosser breeder (with the exception of LGDs) claims as proof of their "chosen breed's" ancientness. Funny how that works. Yes, the roman molossers were most likely (one of) the ancestors, but they were not THE SAME BREED. In the specific case of Rottweilers, it also looks like the Beauceron had at least as much, if not more influence on the Rottweiler breed than Roman molossers.

@@animalobsessed1 by purebred Rottweiler. You mean inbred Rottweiler right?

@@marseldagistani1989 lol, you can probably look up the average inbreeding coefficient in the breed for yourself. Inbreeding doesn't have a strict definition, so you can define it for yourself however you want. Maybe your definition matches the reality of the breed, or maybe it doesn't. Most people wouldn't use the word to describe the normal inbreeding coefficient of most breeds.

That's not what we're here for and your contribution is neither necessary, as you and others like you are well known and regarded as mentally ill by the rest of society, nor productive, as your opinion is objectively wrong and the fact that you continue to press it only makes you look weird to normal people. Go on and have a nice day.

@@way2tehdawn I had a Muslim neighbor who loved dogs. "I know I'm supposed to hate them but look at their cute faces. How can I hate something so cute?" Is basically what she said.

Obviously ancient people DID love their companion pets. There are hundreds of pet graves with epithets.

I remember when we were reading the Odyssey in High school my English teacher admitted she teared up every time at the scene with Odysseus's dog, when he sees him for the last time after waiting faithfully for years and then dies.

Wow what a load of rubbish. People have had pets for millenia, there is evidence for it all over. Even thousands of years before the romans. A lot of teachers and profs have a lot of misinformation to answer for.

@@The_Order_Of_William_Marshal The teacher meant pets as "companion animals" who do nothing. That teacher meant ancient pets were house animals kept only if they did something... like hunting or guard dogs, or mouse hunting cats. Which is WRONG of course. LAP DOGS existed for millenia as well as cats in ancient egypt were loved and I do DOUBT that any cat belonging to any rich merchant or noble would have to hunt rats. Quite the contrary. Being lap cats these people wanted them as clean and healthy as possible, and they probably ate and lived better than most peasant population.

They obviously never read the Odessy (see above) or been to a Roman Tomb.

My dog passed in February as well, just short of 12 years since we had gotten her. :(

fizpop01 I'm sorry to hear that. I still think about my Éalú every day

Best dog I ever had was a heeler crossed with a wolf hound - never short on love and loyalty was Miss Gracie May
