Dear all,
at the cemetery of the Roman city of Viminacium (Serbia) a (puppy) dog buried with two terracotta lamps was discovered.
Does anyone know any analogous or similar situation??? Literature suggestion on the subject of dog burials within cemeteries is welcome!!!
Thank you,
greetings from Viminacium,
Sonja
