Alun Salt's Archaeoastronomy blog has moved ...
MJD is pondering Archimedes' Death Ray ...

Other Carnivals and collations:
The Biblical Studies Carnival is up at Higgaion ...
Phil S. has his usual Patristics roundup ...
Father Foster's latest is on Hadrian's Wall (via Father Coulter's site ... you can get Father Foster's stuff a week or so earlier via iTunes, I have found, but it's semi-mysterious as to when they appear) ... semirelated, Haverford has a list of Classics Podcasts (mostly Latin poetry ... hat tip to the APA's RM-B!)
Rome and the US comparisons will likely pick up, with the publication of Cullen Murphy's Are We Rome (here's an interview with him in US News and World Report) ... this week, I only found one, however, in the Herald Mail ...
In the wake of 300, the Persian Mirror had a lengthy roundup of novels about the Greco-Persian wars ...
The Moneta website has a new section for ePapers about matters ancient and numismatic (you might have to do a bit of digging to find it)...
Martin Conde has put up a flickr photoset devoted to the exhibition: Memorie dal sottosuolo. Ritrovamenti Archeologici
Assorted bloggers have noted that a translation of Herodian is now available at Tertullian.org ...
The Dyabola Project also has a blog (hat tip to Troels!) ...
Other than that, issue 10.2 of our Explorator newsletter is up ... I definitely will get the Ancient World on Television listings up today (they're next on the to do list) ...
