Studies in the history of Greece and Rome.

Pisciculture--the process of raising fish--held a lasting fascination for the people of ancient Rome. Whether bred for household consumption, cultivated for sale at market, or simply kept in confinement for reasons of aesthetic appreciation, fish remained an important commodity and prominent cultural symbol throughout the periods of the Roman Republic and early Empire. Roman pisciculture reached its greatest level of sophistication, though, between the first century b.c. and the first century a.d. with the development of a highly specialized architectural element: the piscina, or artificial fishpond. Based on a thorough examination of the archaeological record and complemented by site plans, maps, and photographs, James Higginbotham's work represents the most comprehensive study of the fishponds of Roman Italy. Higginbotham covers the technical aspects of Roman fishponds--their design, construction, and operation--and places the piscinae within their social, political, and economic context. He argues that in a society fascinated by pisciculture, ownership of a fishpond was a powerful display of wealth and social status and, ultimately, a manifestation of the intense competition between aristocratic Roman families that would eventually lead to civil war.

Every Glamorous Pup Needs Pawfum
Color: Black Noir Pawfum, Size: One Size, Color: Black Noir Pawfum, Size: One Size
As a sophisticated young lady with impeccable taste, I can confidently say that the Chewnel Noir Pawfum is a must-have for every fashionable pup. The moment I got my paws on it, I knew it was special. It’s soft, adorable, and the perfect size for carrying around the house, chewing, cuddling, and showing off during my puppy playdates. It adds just the right amount of luxury to my toy collection. Not only does it look fabulous in photos, but it also keeps me entertained for hours. My humans can’t stop laughing every time they see me strutting around with my designer “pawfum.” If you’re a puppy who loves the finer things in life, this toy deserves a spot in your collection. Five paws from Pennie Lou! Because every glamorous girl needs her signature scent.

Will probably be destroyed soon, but SUPER CUTE!
Color: Pink Purse, Size: One Size
Super cute! It will probably eventually be ripped to shreds by my pups soon because it is not as sturdy as other toys out there. It is also pretty small so not the best for large dogs destructive dogs. My lab tries to eat it and rip it but my small chihuahua plays with it and fetches it (she also looks adorable holding it her mouth!!)
