Subject: [ZOOARCH] Roman exotic animal remains
Dear all,
I am currently researching exotic animal remains in the Roman world for my BA dissertation.
For this I am struggling to find any more animal bone evidence. I am dealing with modern Italy, France, Spain, England and the military area around the Rhine/Danube frontier. The exotic animals I am looking for should:
- be mammals
- be foreign to the whole area dealt with
- predominantly be moved around for purposes of curiosity or entertainment rather than food stuff (e.g. edible doormouse) or means of transport (e.g. camel)
I am aware of the following finds although references on the ones indicated below would be appreciated:
- Elephant, Ostia (Italy) (any references?)
- Giraffe, Pompeii (Italy) (any references?)
- Lion, Rome (Italy)
- Panther, Rome (Italy)
- Leopard, Rome (Italy)
- Barbary Macaque, Llivia (Spain)
- Barbary Macaque, Dunstable (England)
- Barbary Macaque, Poiters (France) (any references?)
- Barbary Macaque, Catterick (England)
- Barbary Macaque, Wroxeter (England)
- Barbary Macaque, Pompeii (Italy)
- Barbary Macaque, Rainau-Buch (Germany) (any references?)
- Baboon, Moselle (France) (any references?)
I would greatly appreciate your help!
Kind regards,
Nora
