And just as mysteriously as my Squeet feeds disappeared, they have reappeared (maybe ... still don't seem 'full'). In any event, as might be expected this time of year, it's been a quiet week in the Classicoblogosphere:
Busiest among the ClassiCarnies was N.S. Gill, who had a number of interesting items including one on Cato the Elder ... Atalanta (no, not the football team) ... the Essenes and their latrines ... and one on the dating of Christmas (which you can compare with a semisimilar post of our own below)
Michael Gilleland had a couple of items within our purview ... Apes in Gold and Silk and Purple ... and a bit from Plutarch's Pyrrhus on Why Wage War ...
It seems timely to remind folks that Laura Gibbs has been posting Latin Christmas Carols all month ...
One of the mysterious Squeet refugee posts was from a few weeks ago ... Irene Hahn on J.B. Bury ... another was Mary Harrsch on what Sulla really looked like ...
Over at Classics Reloaded, MJD was pondering how democratic ancient Athens really was ... with a followup post too ...
Adrian Murdoch was looking at digitized codices from St. Gall ... an interesting (maybe) oracle from Claudian ...
Ed Flinn continues to post his massive collection of coins (the Nero/Poppaea Sabina caught my eye this week) ...
Debra Hamel now has her entire talk on Periclean Athens available ...
Not sure whether we've mentioned the New Antiquarian before, but this week the 'Antiquarian' was putting up pix of various artifacts (with some commentary) from museums and auctions ... of particular interest are the small jewellery pieces (to me, anyway) ...
The Stoa alerted us to some preliminary announcements about the joint APA-AIA Task Force on Electronic Publication, including an extensive (and excellent) response by Greg Crane of Perseus Project (and other) fame (note in passing ... not sure why one of the documents of background material is not a pdf) ....
Speaking of the APA, abstracts for the 2007 Annual talkfest are available ... the AIA has their abstracts too (and I note the AIA has partially taken up the challenge I threw down last year for generating personalized programs; it's not pokcet mod based but will do just fine; will the APA follow?)
On the enewsstand, the Autumn 2006 issue of Diskalia is now available ...
On the 'real' newsstands, you might want to check out the article in the current issue of Archaeology on Hiking with Hannibal ...
Issue 9.35 of our Explorator newsletter is available at the Yahoo site ... I'm hoping to have the Ancient World on Television listings up before we're off for a few days for holiday revelling ...
