Quote:So perhaps if mice were harbingers of imminent death, the bread would be a symbol of life?

Life and death depicted in symbols? I quite like that!

A bit like having 'love' 'hate' tattoos on the knuckles!

The mouse and loaf motif appear on many gravestones of Praetorian guardsmen in Rome too. The mouse was also a symbol of afterlife and rebirth.
