Thanks for that Nephele.

Hello everyone, I am reading Tom Holland's 'Rubicon' at the moment and have just read a passage about an annual crucifixion of guard dogs. Apparently, this was a belated punishment for failing to bark and warn about the imminent sacking of Rome by the Gauls. Geese, however, were celebrated. Does anyone know of the primary source(s) for this dog crucifixion? I'd be interested to find out if this was true or a fiction of anti-Roman propaganda from later sources. Thanks Silurian
