A pile of stuff today:
N.S. Gill points us to some fun/useful materials to celebrate Rome's birthday ... there's also a Poetry Month post devoted to Plautus ... and one on Catullus
Also on the Roman birthday front, a comment to a post at Glaukopidos points us to the Official Blog of PCPB, which might be of interest to the ailurophiles out there ...
CW at Thoughts on Antiquity is also celebrating ...
TM at Iconoclasm celebrates by giving us a personal view of the new Ara Pacis Museum ...
Laudator returns from a brief hiatus with a post about a miser ... and a Latin translation of the Descent of Man ... and something on Halitosis
AM of Bread and Circuses fame overheard a humourous exchange t'other day ...
MG has updated his page of references to the Historical Jesus at NT Gateway ...
In the Latin Zone, GL gives us the titles of some of her student helpers (I might steal some of these) ...
Both TK at Memorabilia Antonina and at DK at phDiva are pondering the Timewatch episode about headless Romans (which I think might be connected to a decimation, but that's just a guess at this point)
DK is also looking at ancient cookery utensils and ancient wine branding (personal note in passing: I've been recently drinking wine mixed with water ... it does change the flavour substantially and makes less-than-palatable wines (the kind your students usually regift you with at Christmas) rather more palatable)
The Stoa points us to a scholarlyish (sorry) review of Rome: Total War ...
William Blathers has something on localization of hexameters ...
Some new mailing lists which I have come across of late: the Stoic Voice newsletter (and related publications) and a Google group devoted to Plato's Apology of Socrates
Tropaion translates something from the Greek version of Kathimerini on the Sacred Society of Ancient Religionists ...
We've posted the last issue of volume 8 of our Explorator newsletter (don't worry, there will be the first issue of volume 9 next week) ... the weekly version of our Ancient World on Television listings have also been posted ... some other items have also been posted at our Classics Central Forum ...
... and last, but not least, a Dilbert cartoon for all you fans of intercalation:
