Archaeologists in Belgium have discovered a well-preserved Roman dog buried beneath a stone foundation. The dog's burial under the stone foundation provides valuable insights into ancient Roman rituals, as dogs often played roles in purification rites during construction or healing ceremonies. The discovery suggests that the dog was likely an offering linked to rituals associated with an important building. The well-preserved remains will be studied by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.
