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.

Good Product, but images over promise just a little.
Color: Ripple Pattern
- Performs well on tile and low pile carpet. On artificial grass it doesn’t roll even on the highest setting; it only vibrates. Watch the video. - Still fun for my pup. I’ve only had it a day so no clue about durability although my dog is a strong chewer. - Price Value: When purchased it was 2 balls for the same price of a single ball from competitor. - Material feels like a Nerf football. Easy to disassemble and charge.

Best jiggle balls we have found thus far
Color: Ripple Pattern
Yes ! First off this was a great value for the money. The balls function just as described and they have a decent battery life. They entertain both our goldens for a good bit of time. They have so far held up and not been chewed up . We limit the time and put them away after that time.. to avoid them being destroyed. Of all the jiggle balls we have purchased these are by far the best. The way the component is encased in the rubber protects it.. and it screws together very well. I am so pleased with these !

Highly recommend for pet owners looking to keep their dogs busy and happy!
Color: Grid Pattern
These interactive dog toys were a great surprise! My dog was instantly interested in the bouncing and vibrating movement, and it kept him entertained much longer than regular toys. I like that the balls are rechargeable and washable, which makes them easy to maintain after outdoor play. The automatic motion is fun and unpredictable enough to keep pets curious and active. Great value for a 2-pack, especially for energetic dogs that need extra stimulation during the day. Highly recommend for pet owners looking to keep their dogs busy and happy!

This interactive dog toy ball is amazing! It moves and jumps automatically, which keeps my dog constantly engaged and excited. My dog loves chasing it around the house and never seems to get bored. The material feels very durable and holds up well even with strong chewing. It’s a great way to keep pets active and entertained. Definitely a fun and high-quality toy I would recommend!
