 Roman mosaic from the House of the wounded Bear (VII 2, 45) in Pompeii.

It is located at the entrance of the house. “H A V  E” does not mean “Hello” or “Welcome” in Latin, as many believe; its right meaning is “May you be well” .

It is curious that this is written next to the image of a powerful and feared animal wounded by a spear and bloodied.

I doubt that this is the boast of a bear hunter, and there is no mythological or religious relationship between bears and ancient Rome or Greece.

I think the owner sarcastically and with class, meant by this: "You better not mess with the owner of this house.“

By the way, this picture is the best that exists to see this mosaic; its definition, size, quality, are simply extraordinary.
