"GREAT DOORMAT THAT ANY FAN OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE WOULD LOVE!!"- Rita

"The mat itself is outstanding - great quality. The image delights me every time I walk through the door. And the service and team at Damn Good Doormats is second to none. The order came fast, and Iโ€™m so happy with it! Thank you!!" -ย M Smith

"Cave Canem! โ€” As a contemporary replica, the doormat is in no way inferior to the ancient model: creative, high-quality manufactured and you don't even need to be a dog owner. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I am very satisfied!" -ย Welf

Two thousand years ago some Roman homeowner set a snarling dog mosaic in his front step so guests would think twice before barging in uninvited.

This Funny Dog Doormat with the Cave Canem Pompeii Mosaic Design is the perfect unique gift for any dog lover or ancient history fan!

It comes in eco friendly coir, sizes from a tidy 12"x26" up to a genuinely absurd 36"x72", built for covered entries out of the sun and rain. Or grab the all-weather recycled rubber version if your porch takes a beating and you want to hose it off instead of babying it. Either way it's for the person who minored in Classics, has a dog with opinions about strangers, or just wants a doormat older than their student loans.

Years ago I saw the original mosaic in Pompeii and I loved it! Recently, I adopted a dog that looks just like the dog in the mosaic, so I just HAD to order your large size version of the door mat and it's PERFECT! Just what I wanted! (Of course, my dog is much sweeter than the dog on the rug and really doesn't need the "Beware Of Dog" warning!). He's such a good boy!

Shipped very quickly, packaged well and exactly as pictured! Seriously excellent quality for a doormat-- we've been in the market for a new one for some time but everything seemed flimsy or like the text would wear out right away. This doormat is perfect and exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much!!!

This exactly what my house needed. Damn Good Doormats had been on my radar for a while, but I just couldn't settle on something until this Cave Canem doormat struck me right in the Latin/Roman heart. And, of course, Miss Daisy approves.
