Cave canem! This mosaic from Pompeii appears to depict a guard dog. This combined with the apparent weapons on display offers clear warning to any who cross this doorstep!

The Villa of the Birds mosaic is something to behold. There are 33 individual birds represented, each with their own frame. Just stunning!

Those ducks look pretty relaxed right now, but if they knew what was happening in the panel above them, we suspect they might be quite disturbed!
