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.

These are perfect they fit in my hyper pet shooter and they squeak too! My dogs absolutely love themZ. Seems to be good value and I think they will soften up over time.

Small and squeaky!
Pretty perfect! Great size for small dog and they do squeak. It’s helpful to use both hands when getting the ball to squeak. It’s a bit difficult with just one hand, but that can’t be avoided because the size of the tennis ball is small. We use these inside and outside to exercise our puppy.

Milo approved!!!
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Large - 4 Pack
My dog, Milo, loves these squeeky balls. He is a larger dog but not huge. He's about 60 lbs. They are the perfect fit to his mouth. Soft enough for him to chew on but sturdy enough to hold up.

Squeaky Tennis Balls Are Great Fun!
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Large - 4 Pack
My Doberman loves these! That said, she doe's tear them up over time because once she gets one, she squeak's it continually and chews it. They are tennis ball which are not made to withstand aggressive chewers, but she loves them. They are a great size for her, we play with them every night. She's not a picker and doesn't swallow things so I let her have each one until it's destroyed. Then we get out another one to start the process again. They are a reasonable price for the fun she has.

Nice & colorful
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Small - 12 Pack
My dogs love these balls. I purchased these with some smaller balls (another brand). I have two small breed dogs, So, I would like them to be a little smaller. But these balls fit in their mouths just fine. And they squeak. My fur babies love that. They also come in nice colors.
