Oh, that reminds me, I found you a bun in the Hungarian national museum on a piece of Roman silverware :)

Bun!! <3 Thank you! (Hm, could be a hare, but they're welcome, too :) Bun's cousin, so part of the family.)

Yis, I did think of you when I saw it :) AIUI in or at least until the Roman period buns were much more confined to theirnative range in Iberia & SW France, and that a lot of their expansion across the rest of Europe was Roman or later? I think even today their range kinda peters out through eastern Europe a bit.

Thanks, that's very kind :) I actually don't really know much about bunny/hare origins, but that would be an interesting topic to research. *makes mental note*

Tis a fun sort of topic! I think my only other Fun Fact on it is that Roman Hispania had little buns on its coins because they were so much seen as an Iberian thing back then (https://www.iberianature.com/spainblog/2019/12/rabbit-roman-coin-of-hispania/)

Aww! Bunny coin :) How cute is that. I had no idea, all the more reason to learn a little about rabbit history.
