A rather overwhelming week trying to sort through all the Jesus tomb stuff ... here's what my aggregators gathered while I was otherwise distracted:
Mary Beard starts us off with a consideration of Zadie Smith's theories about Trajan's column ... she also went to see Maxentius' imperial regalia ...
N.S. Gill points us to some books about Thermopylae ... there were also some details about the battle itself ...
Laura Gibbs' roundup of educational materials continues to grow ...
Irene Hahn was pondering Commodus' Hercules obsession ... she also had some info on the flamen dialis ... her pal Bingley brought back some photos from Fishbourne ... on that note, there were also a couple of posts on mosaics here ... and here ...
Kristian Minck was pondering Reception in Roman Archaeology ...
Ed Flinn keeps the flow of numismatica coming ...
Nikolaos was looking at recent theories on the eruption of the Santorini volcano ...
... while Nicholas was pondering a youthful indiscretion ...
David Derrick was pondering the what-a-great-thing-is-man chorus from the Antigone ... there was also a post on Cimmerian Darkness ...
Michael Gilleland found a weather-related set of excerpta ... was pondering roadkill and vegetarians ... the teichomachia ... droopy drawers ... and a response ...
Derek Fincham has a very interesting post all about the 'Bronze Statue of a Victorious Youth' which Italy wants back from the Getty (inter alia) ....
A couple of updates from Eurylochus (I think I forgot one last week) ... seems the gang in the horse made it in the walls of Troy in the horse ... then they all went nuts with bloodlust ...
... I suspect I've missed some (apologies!)
I thought it might be useful for folks to see and/or marvel at all the bloglossalia about the tomb of Jesus thing, so here's the list:
* like me, Jim Davila is finding it difficult to keep on top of it all, but he does have some good thoughts here ... here (very useful) ... here (comments on the New York Times piece) ...
* N.S. Gill's About.com forum discussion
* Mark Goodacre has been going through all the various coverage fine-tooth-combed-like, so it's best just to point to the main page (scroll to the bottom, and work your way up) ...
* Michael Pahl had a good summary of the claims and raised a pile of questions therefrom ...
* Tony Chartrand Burke here ... and here ... and here ... (the latter two on claims of a connection to the Acts of Philip) ...
* Alun Salt has one of his Clioaudio features ....
* Tyler Williams found the lighter side of the whole thing ... earlier, he had a somewhat more skeptically-toned post ... there were also a couple of good roundup posts here ... and here ...
* Folks should also check out James Tabor's series of posts at his Jesus Dynasty blog ...
... also on the biblioside of things, Phil has another Patristics roundup ...
New blog: Stoa Poikile
Issue 9.45 of Explorator has been posted ... hopefully I won't poop out before getting my Ancient World on Television listings out as well ...
