"Santa Maria Capua Vetere was the most important arms and breeding center of the empire. It was there they bred and trained men, horses, and war dogs. So it is not true that from Rome, the capital of the empire, the mastiffs descended into Naples. The opposite is true, they were already there. Yeah, that's right: they were Neapolitan Mastini already... Bred and selected for a specific purpose: war!"
