The Genius was a protection spirit,
analogous to the guardian angels invoked by the Church of Rome. The belief in
such spirits existed in Greece and at Rome. The Greeks called them Daemons, and
appear to have believed in them from the earliest times, though Homer does not
mention them. Hesiod says that the Daemons were 30,000 in number, and that they
dwelled on earth unseen by mortals, as the ministers of Zeus, and as the
guardians of men and justice. He further conceives them to be the souls of the
righteous men who lived in the golden age of the world. The Greek philosophers
took up this idea, and developed a complete theory of daemons. Thus we read in
Plato, that daemons are assinged to men at the moment of their birth, that they
accompany men through life, and after death conduct their souls to Hades.
Pindar, in several passages of the spirit watching over the fate of man from the
hour of his birth. The daemons are further described as ministers and companions
of the gods, who carry the prayers of men to the gods, and the gifts of the gods
to men, and accordingly float in immense numbers in the space between heaven and
earth. There was also a distinct class of daemons, who were exclusively the
ministers of the gods.



The Romans seem to have received their notions respecting the genii from the
Etruscans, though the name Genius itself is Latin (it is connected with gi-gn-o,
gen-ui, and equivalent in meaning to generator or father). The genii of the
Romans are the powers which produce life (dii genitales), and accompany man
through it as his second or spiritual self. They were further not confined to
man, but every living being, animal as well as man, and every place had its
genius. Every human being at his birth obtained (sortitur) a genius, who he
worshipped as sanctus et sanctissimus deus, especially on his birthday, with
libations of wine, incense, and garlands of flowers. The bridal bed was sacred
to the genius, on account of his connection with generation, and the bed itself
was called lectus genialis. On other merry occasions, also , sacrifices were
offered to the genius, and to indulge in merriment was not unfrequently
expressed by genio indulgere, genium curare, or placarae. The whole body of the
Roman people had its own genius, who is often seen represented on coins of
Hadrian and Trajan. He was worshipped on sad as well as joyous occasions; thus,
sacrifices were offered to him at the beginning of the 2nd year of the war with
Hannibal. The genii are usually represented in works of art as winged beings.
The genius of a place appears in the form of a serpent eating fruit placed
before him.

 





Maximinus II (Latin: Gaius Valerius Galerius
Maximinus Daia Augustus; 20 November c. 270 - July or August 313), also known as
Maximinus Daia or Maximinus Daza, was Roman Emperor from 308 to 313. He became
embroiled in the Civil wars of the Tetrarchy between rival claimants for control
of the empire, in which he was defeated by Licinius. A committed pagan, he
engaged in one of the last persecutions of Christians.He was born of Dacian
peasant stock to the sister of the emperor Galerius near their family lands
around Felix Romuliana, a rural area then in the Danubian region of Moesia, now
Eastern Serbia.

He rose to high distinction after joining the army.

In 305, his maternal uncle Galerius became the eastern Augustus and adopted
Maximinus, raising him to the rank of caesar (in effect, the junior eastern
Emperor), and granting him the government of Syria and Egypt.In 308, after the
elevation of Licinius to Augustus, Maximinus and Constantine were declared filii
Augustorum ("sons of the Augusti"), but Maximinus probably started styling
himself after Augustus during a campaign against the Sassanids in 310. On the
death of Galerius in 311, Maximinus divided the Eastern Empire between Licinius
and himself. When Licinius and Constantine began to make common cause, Maximinus
entered into a secret alliance with the usurper Caesar Maxentius, who controlled
Italy. He came to an open rupture with Licinius in 313; he summoned an army of
70,000 men but sustained a crushing defeat at the Battle of Tzirallum in the
neighbourhood of Heraclea Perinthus on April 30. He fled, first to Nicomedia and
afterwards to Tarsus, where he died the following August. His death was
variously ascribed "to despair, to poison, and to the divine justice".

Great Product!!!
Color: 1PC-Beef-Red
This is the first toy my dog has not demolished. I need to buy more just like it just in case something happens to this one. It's worth every bit of the money I spent on it.

Yes, it will get destroyed. No, it isn't a waste of your money.
Style: Animal Sound, Size: Medium
Okay, I just wanted to say I've bought this item three times even tho my huge super chewer dogs inevitably destroy it, and here's why: It's NOT a chew toy! Pretty much *ANY* toy will not survive a strong chewer unless it is made from an indestructible material, and indestructible materials are often dangerous for doggy teeth. The noises this thing makes entices dogs to be extra violent on it. The trick is, you need to supervise them with the toy and if they move from chasing/bouncing it to "gnawing furiously" remove it and replace it with a safe treat toy to chew on (like a rawhide or antler, or a kong stuffed with frozen/difficult to remove treats) to satisfy their chewing needs on a safer item. This will extend the life of the toy. This way, the only damage it takes is from them mouthing/throwing it, which is what it is designed to withstand. This method is the only safe way to play with just about any play toy if you have SUPER chewers. There are many toys out there that will last longer, however, this one makes noise and that is super valuable to enrich your dogs' life. In essence, you're paying (insert current price of this item) to get several hours of SUPERVISED play time out of this toy over the course of several months. As far as noise makers go, this is only one of two toys I have found to hold up long enough to be worth the price. Go for it.

Such short fun!
Style: Animal Sound, Size: Medium, Style: Animal Sound, Size: Medium
So it lasted one evening. The concept is great and I expected this one to last much longer because of the tire cover. It stopped making noises about 3 hours after I opened it. Keep in mind they slept for 1 of those hours and went for a walk came back and played but ignored it because it stopped making noises. I've attached a photo. Keep in mind it arrived yesterday, gave it to the dogs at 6:30 pm. By 9:30 pm, it was done. I would expect this level of damage from a larger dog, but I have two mini Aussies. Only one of them would go near it. I also wouldn't care if the tire part got a little wear and tear but this is extremely short playtime. I also purchased the ball. It still works, so I may have gotten a defective one. Not sure. I'll return and try again. I posted a photo because the boy dog was totally into it. The plain ball that talks is a HUGE hit. It got lost but suddenly responded to their noises. It was so funny. I'll have to write a review for the plain ball.

X-TireBall Durability
Style: Jingle, Size: Medium
If you have a small dog or a dog that doesn't chew, this is a nice toy to play with. The labradoodle that received this ball loved it however, since he is a chewer, this product didn't last 10 minutes before it started to fall apart. The danger is that the dog can swallow the rubber and it will be an expensive trip to the vet. Summary: If your dog chews -DO NOT buy this product. If your dog does not chew - then it's a playful toy.. a cat will like to play with it as the bell is not too loud I was disappointed that the product said it was for dogs that chew but wasn't

Dog loves!
Style: Jingle, Size: Small
A neighbor found this in town for her dog, who didn't like the ball. She tossed it over the fence for our dog who absolutely loved the ball! The dog ran around the house trying to hide it & bury it, but would go retrieve it after a minute or two and repeat the process! Went to try to find a new one in town, but couldn't, so ordered it. Unfortunately, the ball is made out of hard plastic, which didn't hold up too well to a jack russell's terrior teeth. The ball would be perfect if made out of the "kong" rubber. We ended up using black electrician's tape until the ball totally fell apart...the dog was so sad -- looking all over for her ball, just had to get her another one.
