Other larger and more aggressive dogs, however, were used to guard houses and other places. The Inscription reads “Behold the tomb of Aeolis, the cheerful little dog, whose loss to fleeting fate pained me beyond measure” It´s unclear whether the monument commemorates a girl or dog named Helena. Inscription: “To Helena, foster daughter, incomparable and praiseworthy soul”. Therefore, Patrice, you will no longer give me a thousand kisses / nor will you be able to lie down on my pleasant neck ” Gravestone of Helena. “I carried you with dripping tears, our puppy, / which I did more than three years ago. Ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis oscula mille /nec poteris collo grata cubare meo ” “Portavi lacrimis madidụs te, nostra catella, / quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus. You cannot go wild nor jump on me, and you do not bare your teeth at me with bites that do not hurt.”Īn example was found near the Church of Santa Marina in Pogerola (Amalfi). What a shame, Midge, that you have died! The depths of the grave now hold you and you know nothing about it. What a shame, Midge, that you have died!

The Cretan Mastiff was perhaps a cross between the Molosser and the Lacone, while other breeds were imported from Britain. The lacone was a very popular hunting dog in Greece, the Athenian historian Xenophon (430/425 BC – 355 BC) in the work “Kynegeticos” described the characteristics of the breed and the methods of its training. The vertragus was a greyhound imported from Gaul, and used mainly for running competitions. The Molossus of Epirus, already used in Greece as a guard and shepherd dog, was also imported into Italy. Imported breeds were the Molossus of Epirus, the Vertragus, the Lacone, and the Cretan Mastiff.
