"cave canem"

Which is related to words most english speakers know, "caveat" (beware) and "canine" (dog).

What breed of dog is this or what's the modern closest relation? I'm completely clueless about dog breeds but it looks like it would be an awesome pup!

Pompeii also has some awesome Roman lewd graffiti:
