The paw prints and hoof prints of a few meddlesome animals have been preserved for posterity on ancient Roman tiles recently discovered by archaeologists in England.
"They are beautiful finds, as they represent a snapshot, a single moment in history," said Nick Daffern, a senior project manager with Wardell ArmstrongArchaeology. "It is lovely to imagine some irate person chasing a dog or some other animal away from their freshly made tiles."
