The ancient 'CAVE CANEM' sign, translating to 'Beware of the Dog,' hails from Pompeii, serving as both an alert and a safety barrier against thieves. In Roman times, robust dogs were favored for their protective nature. The design of entryways showcased a homeowner's status and notions of security.
