Find traces of a 1,800-year-old dog in the Roma subway project

Another victim found in the remains of the ancient Rome fire was finally excavated, and this time only a small dog.

While working to expand Rome's new subway, workers continue to find many other archaeological sites including the remains of a dog that seemed to have died in a fire about 1,800 years ago. According to the Associated Press, the rest of the dog was discovered in May, but these findings until today have been officially announced.

The bone of the dog was found cramped, like the scene that the authorities compared to Pompeii, a famous stronghold destroyed after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The dog may have been a pet of a rich man, or was in a barracks. The rest of the dog is found near the entrance.

The authorities also found a small table and a painted wall, all intact in shape, and all burned by fire. These evidence will provide researchers with a better view of the local culture and lifestyle of Roma ancestors.
