I'm gradually getting more organized with this, having settled on Google Reader for this aspect of my surfing ... here's what the ClassiCarnies (and others) have to offer us this week:

N.S. Gill writes about the Spartan agoge ... has some comments on 300 ... and some notes about Thermopylae ... her focus wasn't entirely Greek, however, with a roundup of articles on the Fall of Rome ...

Adrian Murdoch has a nice consular diptych ...

Laura Gibbs continues to post useful Latin instruction materials ...

Ed Flinn's amazing collection of coins continues to provide eye candy for us all ...

Irene Hahn talks about naumachia(e) ... and the gladiators' purported salute ...

Magister Patricius and students are pondering Catullus 11 ...

JM has some comments on the Dream of Scipio ...

Gordon Lyn Watley has some preliminary thoughts on the Greek of various oracles ...

Atheneion is pondering Tibullus ...

Mary Beard was Entertaining Boris Johnson ...

Michael Gilleland was (Elvis Costello-like) watching the lexicographers ... finding some home sweet home antecedents ... and giving some interesting views on Vespasian ...

I'd also like to draw folks' attention to Martin G. Conde's Flickr photoset, which has some excellent recent photos of the Imperial Fora, including recent digs/finds on the Palatine (and other items)

New blog on the block: Tom Elliott and Gabriel Bodard (and others) have set up the Current Epigraphy blog ...

Issue 9.46 of our Explorator newsletter has been posted ... the weekly version of our Ancient World on Television listings will follow later today ...
