Saw this stuff in the Classical Blogosphere:
Dr. Weevil posts a review of his first (!) viewing of Spartacus (by an interesting bit of synchronicity, I've never seen all of Quo Vadis either) ...
Hobbyblog posts a nice silvered antoninianus of Gallienus sporting an image of Aesculapius ...
At Curculio, the file of Ioci Antiqui expands with a squib from Suetonius ...
Thoughts on Antiquity has a post on the ten lost works he'd like to see recovered ... (for comparative purposes, there was a flurry of activity such as this in the closing days of last summer ...)
Also saw an interesting post at Howe Street -- which I think we've mentioned before -- which ponders the question of why democracies become empires, with Athens at the time of the Peloponnesian Wars as its example. It has a really nice map ...
[it just occurred to me that this 'blogwatch' feature is almost a Daily Classical Carnival]
