... it's a very slow day, alas, but we should note that Dan Cohen is blogging the Digital Humanities and the Disciplines conference and Day Two featured a talk by Greg Crane (tip o' the pileus to Tom Elliott) ... in addition, Dr. Ekaterini Tsalampouni wrote in (thanks) to tell of stories in the Greek press of the excavation of a Roman stadium at Patras:

The stadium – not mentioned in the literary sources but known through the epigraphic ones- was found in the centre of the town. The archaeologists date it in Domitian’s reign, in 86 A.D. It has got a double apsis similar to the found in two other stadia (one in Rome and one in Asia Minor). The experts assume that the plans of the stadium were those of Rubirius.

... hopefully this one will be picked up by the English press at some point ...

There's also an online petition aimed at preventing development of a golf course on Cavo Sidero (Crete), an area with much of archaeological interest ...
