The canis pugnax (Roman Moloss) that the Romans bred is extinct, but its nearest descendants are:

Cane Corso, the "light" version.
("Corso" is a dialect word meaning "strong", somebody derives it from "cohors")

Mastino Napoletano (Neapolitan Mastiff), the 100Kg Heavy duty version.

That Corso is a good looking big dog with little drooping flesh in the face, maybe a bit too big head. Strong neck, powerful snout and strong line along its legs and back. Not ugly like the Mastif.

Ok, I might just like big dogs more than most. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

I'm gonna mod my game to where the song who let the dogs out plays when the dogs are unleashed

I remember a hot dog company that had a motto of they use everything but the squeal, well I guess the Romans had them beat they used the whole pig and the aqueal too

I don't think that these dogs will be of pretty much importance. They'll be an ideal target for arrows, and what can they do against swords? Really, maybe they'll manage to kill some naked barbarians armed with clubs and scare off some horses, but nothing more.

And I can bet they it's gonna take a year or two to train a detachment. Quite futile.

Konnichiwa,

Roman soldiers 'admired' the barbarian attack dog. The humans were routed off the field and the dogs were still fighting. I'm not sure whether releasing is a very effective strategy, I guess fighting alongside is better.

I recall that the Romans used the barbarian mastiff to fight in the theaters, the dogs showed here may be the product of some mixing.

That Corso sure looks great magnatz.

Actually Hanibal won a naval battle for the Bythinians against Pergunam by lobbing snake bombs into the enemy ships
