- Description
- Animals fulfilled a variety of functions in the Ancient world. Wild species were hunted, while domesticated animals were used on farms, in warfare, and in religious rites, as well as providing companionship as pets. Certain animals were also associated with royal status, as well as with divinities. The evidence is rich, both in iconography and in our literary sources.
