cave canem

Please see last post [click]. If i had not already posted that one, i would have posted this one with it. This is a mosaic, i saw briefly to-day, on the ground floor of the old St. Michael's school in Cleveland. I did not know when i awoke this morning, that, i would see this to-day. I read that the school and convent were to be under auction. This was the first auction, i ever attended. I was not impressed. The minimum acceptable price was $600,000. The auctioneer bid downwards. He stopped at $350-375,000. Another auction will be scheduled.

"Beware of the dog" is English for "cave canem". The lighting was poor, some non-functioning fluorescent tubes. This is either a copy of an ancient floor mosaic, or perhaps a school project to make a new one.
