Abstract
ABSTRACT:This article examines literary, epigraphic, archaeological and artistic sources for the feeding of Roman dogs, with a particular focus on the practical advice found within the De re rustica of Varro and Columella and the various Cynegetica. As an interdisciplinary approach, modern studies related to canine nutrition and cognitive theory will alongside the ancient sources elucidate how a more regular, planned diet was an important aspect of nurturing a well-bred, properly trained and cared for farm or hunting dog, particularly among upper class Romans. This in turn served to enhance the owner's reputation as an excellent farmer or hunter.
摘要:本文从文学、碑文、考古和艺术等方面考察了罗马狗喂养的相关资料，并重点介绍了瓦罗和科卢梅拉的De re rustica和各种Cynegetica中发现的实用建议。作为一种跨学科的方法，与犬类营养和认知理论相关的现代研究将与古代资料一起阐明，更有规律、有计划的饮食是如何培养一只教养良好、训练有素、照顾好的农场或猎犬的重要方面，尤其是在罗马上层阶级中。这反过来又有助于提高主人作为优秀农民或猎人的声誉。
