Sausage dogs could have been made to fight bears in the Colosseum of ancient Rome, archaeologists said

The remains of sausage dogs were found in the 2,000-year-old drains of the Colosseum.The bones of lions, bears, and ostriches were also found, along with remnants of spectators' snacks.Packs of sausage dogs might have been made to fight larger animals like bears or perform acrobatics in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, archaeologists have said.

"They were less than 30cm in height. We think they may have been used to perform acrobatic tricks, just as you would see in a circus today. Or it may be that they were used as part of staged hunts or even pitched against bears and animals like that. We don't know for sure." The discoveries were made during a year-long study, during which archaeologists trawled through 70m of drains and sewers underneath the Colosseum, which could host up to 50,000 spectators.
