Venus was a Roman goddess principally
associated with love, beauty and fertility, who played a key role in many Roman
religious festivals and myths. From the third century BC, the increasing
Hellenization of Roman upper classes identified her as the equivalent of the
Greek goddess Aphrodite.



Her cult began in Ardea and Lavinium, Latium. On August 15, 293 BC, her oldest
known temple was dedicated, and August 18 became a festival called the Vinalia
Rustica. After Rome's defeat at the Battle of Lake Trasimene in the opening
episodes of the Second Punic War, the Sibylline oracle recommended the
importation of the Sicillian Venus of Eryx; a temple to her was dedicated on the
Capitoline Hill in 217 BC: a second temple to her was dedicated in 181 BC.



Venus seems to have played a part in household or private religion of some
Romans. Julius Caesar claimed her as an ancestor (Venus Genetrix); possibly a
long-standing family tradition, certainly one adopted as such by his heir
Augustus. Venus statuettes have been found in quite ordinary household shrines (lararia).
In fiction, Petronius places one among the Lares of the freedman Trimalchio's
household shrine.





Julia Cornelia Salonina (d. 268, Mediolanum
) was an Augusta , wife of Roman Emperor Gallienus and mother of Valerian II ,
Saloninus , and Marinianus .



Julia Cornelia Salonina's origin is unknown. According to a modern theory, she
was born of Greek origin in Bithynia , then part of the province of Bithynia et
Pontus , Asia Minor . However, there exists some scepticism on that. She was
married to Gallienus about ten years before his accession to the throne. When
her husband became joint-emperor with his father Valerian in 253, Cornelia
Salonina was named Augusta.



Cornelia was the mother of three princes, Valerian II , Saloninus and Marinianus
. Her fate , a fter the murder of Gallienus, during the siege of Mediolanum in
268, is unknown. It is likely that either her life was spared or the she was
executed together with other members of her family, at the orders of the Senate
of Rome.



Her name is reported on coins with Latin legend as Cornelia Salonina; however,
from the Greek coinage come the names Iulia Cornelia Salonina, Publia Licinia
Cornelia Salonina, and Salonina Chrysogona (attribute that means "begotten of
gold").

Lasted longer than I expected! But Still going...
Color: Octopus Yellow & Green
My dog was hesitant at first, which was strange because he loves the squeaker toys. would smell them and then walk away (I think it had a manufacturing smell) but after a few hours of airing out the fight (Playing) was on! Lasted longer than I expected! the squeak was gone from one of them but somehow, he managed to get it working again. normally he would chew the guts out to get to the squeaking piece, but they are surprisingly both still in tacked! and also, he refuses to share with his big brother even though he has two of them!

Another one bites the dust!
Color: Octopus Purple & Blue
Good toy, but nothing spectacular. Took my 10 month old girl less than a day to kill the squeaker lol. Item is still intact meaning its not shredded but once squeaker dies she's pretty much done with it.

My dog's obsession
Color: Octopus Yellow & Green
My dog has been obsessed with these since he was a puppy. I started buying them in 6 packs. He chews is after each meal like dental floss and it's always soggy and gross. I keep an eye on the legs and throw it away when he begins to chew through them. One lasts him a couple months (80 pound Lab).

Great for treats
Color: Octopus Purple & Blue
We purchased this to keep our dog busy and engaged. He seems to enjoy it. We placed 1 or 2 treats in the tentacles and then loosely tie them. He can not untie them but can still manage to get the treats out. It amuses him for 10-12 minutes which is great. Only downside I can see is that the octopus is going to get grungy soon because of the treats and the treats and the constant licking to remove them. Not sure how it will washup but we will try. Very soft and decent squeaky sound.

Durable
My dog loves it. She takes it to  bed every night. It is sturdy, doesn’t seem like it will rip easily.  Why did you pick this product vs others?: Trying to replace a raccoon she got 4 year’s ago.  Squeak: Only squeaks when I squeeze it.
