Roman Hunting Party, 2nd Century BC


The Ancient Romans left behind representations of boar hunting in both literature and art. Hunting became popular among young Romans starting from the second century BC. Hunting was seen as a way of fortifying character and exercising physical vigor. The boar was known as aper, feri sues or singularis on account of the animals supposedly solitary habits.
