📸 The British Museum


These Mastiff type dogs can be traced back as far as 411 B.C. The Molossus dogs became extremely popular throughout the world during the Hellenic period. Originally only owned by the Molossi people but over time they spread through the region and across the land. The Molossus was used as war dogs in countless wars during this era. In the fourth Century B.C.

They accompanied King Philip II in his conquest of Greece, they also aided in the conquering of land from Egypt to India with Alexander the Great. During the Macedonian wars, at the height of the Roman Empire’s power, the legions that subdued and occupied the Greek Islands brought Mollosers back to Italy and bred them to native Italian breeds.

The grave of Caroline Walter in the Old Cemetery in Freiburg, Germany.

The sleeping girl made of stone lying on a bed with lavishly draped coverings is one of the most beautiful and famous tombs in the Old Cemetery, and therefore a point of interest in Freiburg. Caroline Christine Walter (1850–1867) died of tuberculosis when she was just 16 years old.

The open book she holds in her hand bears the inscription: “It is certain in God's wisdom that from our dearest loved one we must part.”

As the local tradition goes, Caroline Walter's lover was unable to recover from her death, which is why he brought fresh flowers to her grave every day.
