Historical Curiosities
"...while Trimalchio was being carried away, a player with a tiny flute approached his head, and as if speaking secretly into his ear, played for him all along the way. Behind came us, already full of delicacies, along with Agamemnon. Arriving at the door, we found a sign posted that read: 'The slave who leaves without the master's permission will receive one hundred lashes.' Right at the entrance stood a doorman dressed in green with a cherry-colored belt, busy shelling peas into a silver dish. Above the threshold hung a golden cage with a colorful magpie inside greeting the guests. I was looking at these things in amazement when I had to jump back so suddenly that I almost broke a leg. I had seen on the left, near the doorman's lodge, a large dog tied to a chain, painted on the wall that seemed alive, with the words written below in all capitals: BEWARE OF THE DOG. My companions were laughing..."
Satyricon Petronius Arbiter (26 - 66 AD)
Maintenance
To keep your marble tile always shining, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a solution of lukewarm water and neutral soap to remove any stains. Avoid using harsh chemical products that could damage the surface.

Store owner replied: Siamo felici che la tua esperienza con noi sia stata positiva, ti ringraziamo per le gentili parole!
The cave canem means a lot for me because we, my family when I was a child, had almost the same next to the front door. My parents bought it during a holiday in Italy.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your kind words and beautiful photo!
Es una preciosidad. Yo creía que era un baldosín, pero es mármol!!! Me encanta y llama la atención a todos. Muchísimas gracias!
Wunderschön und empfehlenswert! ❤️
Excellent
Mi piace tantissimo
Stupendo! Spedizione perfetta, tempi rapidi, grazie per il regalino. Consigliatissimo!!
Communication excellent. Product delivery perfect.
Das Motiv hat mir gleich gefallen und die Bestellung war genauso, wie vom Verkäufer versprochen. Leider war die Kachel jedoch beschädigt, ein Kachelstűck war beim Transport herausgebrochen und kleinste Mosaikteile waren abgesprungen. Die Verpackung war für den Transport nicht gut geeignet. Die Wellpappe als Schutz allein hat leider nicht geholfen. Ich habe die schőne Kachel geklebt, damit ich sie nicht wegschmeißen musste.
Very well packaged. Thank you.
è bellissimo!!
Proprio quello che cercavo!!!! In più il museo invia un piccolo regalo. Ho apprezzato molto
Livraison très rapide accompagné de petites attentions sympa : 2 goodies.Le tout expédiés dans un très bel emballage. Rien à redire. Super !

Bought one in person when I visited Pompeii about 25 years ago….unfortunately I was broken…so it is great to be able to replace it
This tile really resonated with our family after one year spent with our rescued pitbull, Othello. He's super friendly and loves people but upon first sight of our dog, a warning to beware certainly is helpful! The tile is beautiful and arrived to our house unmarked, highly recommend!
Yo estoy enamorada de este Cave Canem desde que vi el original hace muchos años en Pompeya en la Casa del Poeta Trágico. Espero volver a ese maravilloso lugar y visitar luego vuestro museo Éste es el segundo mosaico que encargo, ya para una amiga mía que le encantó el mío, el de la foto, la puerta de la calle de mi hogar. Es un mosaico precioso, en color, textura. Tamaño ideal para sitios pequeños. Un pedacito de Pompeya en la puerta de mi casa. ¡¡¡ME ENCANTA!!!
Great service levels throughout. Superior responsiveness and communication.
Servizio molto curato, estrema rapidità
