Abstract:
The Roman carved jet dog which forms the subject of this paper was recovered during excavations in 1971 within Binchester Roman fort (Vinovium), to the north of the praetorium. The item is described in detail and then discussed in terms of parallels from elsewhere in Roman Britain and beyond. The presence of actual dogs at Binchester fort in the Roman period is then briefly discussed in the context of the various roles possibly played by dogs at this time, as suggested by the archaeological record. The possible symbolic meaning of the image of the dog in Romano-British art and life is then considered.
