Importance of the Latin inscriptions At Pompei
Il se peut, tout simplement, que les Romains utilisaient des expressions équivalentes indistinctement, comme dans toutes les autres langues.
La <spes — spei> = "espoir", "espérance", "bon pressentiment" etc.
La <fortuna — fortunæ> = "chance", "fortune", "hasard", "sort" etc.
La <valeo — valere> = "bien se porter", être en bonne santé", "être fort", "être vigoureux" etc.

"Cave Canem"
I know "canem" is related to dogs but what does "cave" word exactly mean ?

There is an ancient tile inscription embedded inside what used to be a doorway in ancient Pompeii. The inscription said "Caveat Canem", meaning "Beware of Dog". Brennus is correct. As far as "Bona Fortuna" goes, I know that Italians to this day will wish you luck by saying "Buona Fortuna". Another way of saying good luck in Italian is "Buona Sorte". In Spanish, you would say, "Buena Suerte".
