Lisieux: Figurines of a pigeon and a dog (Caen Mus.Normandie; photo Athena Review 2013)
These mold-made clay figurines of a pigeon and a dog were found in Lisieux, and date from the 1st to 3rd century AD.
Such figurines of domestic pets and other familiar animals were produced at figurine workshops and are commonly found in Gallo-Roman house sites.
Lisieux, located about 25 miles (40 km) east of Caen, was occupied from the 1st century AD onward by Roman settlements.
