woohoo! ... the term 'ClassiCarnival' now appears in Google ... here's today's calliope ride around the Classical blogosphere:

Bread and Circuses alerts us to the fact that the Last Legion -- a movie about Romulus Augustulus' days -- is now in production ... there are also some musings about the Bay of Naples as an ancient holiday destination ...

Over at Campus Mawrtius, Eric has come across a reference to the Aeneid in Proba's Cento ... (by the way, you'll find refs in Pliny and Plautus, among other places)

Hobbyblog has another antoninianus of Salonina ... with Salus holding a snake on the other side .... a coin of Valerian has also just been posted a second or two ago

Roman Scholars has a feature on Dr. John Patterson ... MH's Roman Archaeology page also points to an interesting controversy about some pots which might hail from J.R.R. Tolkein's (!) dig at the Lindsey Park Estate ...

Sympotica graecolatina has an interesting Latin quotation on Japanese hospitality ...

Whither Martialis? ... and Classics in Contemporary Culture?
