A "Beware Of Dog" Sign In A 2,000-Year-Old Roman House
The sign "Beware of dog" is older than you think. Such writings were found in numerous ancient Roman buildings. Such signs could have been placed even if there weren't any dogs to scare off burglars or to warn guests about small dogs that could have been stepped on.
The sign in the image was discovered in the "House of the Tragic Poet" in Pompei. The house is dated around 2nd century BCE. The caption reads "cave canem," which means "Beware of dog." This mosaic is placed on the floor at the main entrance. If you think about it, in comparison, the “Beware of dog” signs today are quite underwhelming.

PFFT EVERYBODY knows that satan purposely buried those items to test your faith. The World was created 2021 years ago by Jesus, who then founded the USA as the best of everything.

The issue with this is that in todays society we cannot be sure if you are trying to be funny, or if you actually belive it

Jackie,
Or she is in fact an evangelical Christian from Texas and believes this shit because she heard about it on info wars.
Or "she" is a guy who got a random girls name on a website. We'll never know. But we now know your political views and your sense of humor
