Cave Canem coaster and mural
The coaster with the inscription "Cave Canem" - "Beware of the dog" made of genuine Italian marble is a very special gift! Give a fine drop of wine as a gift and make someone exceptionally happy. For every dog owner, the coaster can also be used to decorate a wall!
Scratch-resistant and washable
The coasters for glasses made of real marble come directly from Italy. There is a thin cork protection on the back to prevent the table surface from being scratched. The colorful illustrations, which were specially selected for you by Forum Traiani with antique motifs, are applied using an elaborate thermal printing process.
Easy to clean
You can simply wash the coasters for glasses with water and a cloth. The motifs are waterproof and so is the real marble. Cave canem is a Latin warning (consisting of cavere "shy/beware" and canis "dog") and means "Beware of the dog!". The phrase was made famous by the discovery of a very well-preserved floor mosaic in the ruins of Pompeii. The saying has become so famous that it can also be found on gates or fences in German-speaking countries instead of the inscription "Achtung bissiger Hund! Incidentally, the mosaic can be found at the entrance to the long hallway in the so-called "House of the Tragic Poet". Just behind the front door, a black and white floor mosaic shows a large chained dog with the inscription: Cave canem.
Antique design
The genuine marble makes each coaster absolutely unique and unmistakable. Each stone coaster has an individual grain. The coloring of the marble is the same so that all coasters match in color and can be combined. There are many more motifs for the marble coasters, which you can discover on these pages under Roman museum store and gift ideas! There are also matching magnets for the fridge in this Roman section. A lovely gift not only for dog owners.

A piece of Italy
The marble stones are quarried in the Verona area of Italy and processed into small slabs. Through the gentle process of "stone tumbling", the edges are broken in a natural way, giving them their soft appearance and slightly rounded sides. The photorealistic motifs are applied to the marble tiles and sealed using a special process. A real piece of Italy for your home!
