Well, it's goodbye from him...and it's goodbye from me, as The Two Ronnies used to say. And if you have been, thanks for listening (over the last 30 years) or retweeting/liking (over the last 2)! DJC
For any teacher retiring this term & teaching lessons online, it's a bit hard to claim not to be "telephoning in" the final lessons... because you are!!
Your word of the day is: GROKE v. n. (Scots) To gaze at somebody while they're eating in the hope that they'll give you some of their food. (definition via @qikipedia)
I've had emails this morning saying the £29.99 paperback of A People's History of Classics: Class and Greco-Roman Antiquity in Britain & Ireland which I wrote with @henrystead has sold out. Routledge Taylor Francis are reprinting it as I write. It will be available again soon.

Latin word of the day: laetus, laeta, laetum - happy #LatinWordOfTheDay #ViaFacilis
The magnificent peaks of Súlur, along the Ring Road in Iceland⛰🛣 Driving the fjords in Austurland, East Iceland is a dramatic and scenic drive, but you can also hike towards Súlur from the town Stöðvarfjörður, on the other side! #inspiredbyiceland #iceland #hikingadventures
...and Dr Dalley has impeccable Classical background. Her father was Sir Denys Lionel Page, who was elected the 34th Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge University in 1950, a position he held until 1974.
As we go on half-term (is it Friday, is it October, who knows?), I leave you with a programme which in an earlier incarnation (Timewatch?) inspired me to begin a very modest study of cuneiform. Thrilling stuff! youtube.com/watch?v=JTRK6M…
I took it at the British Museum’s ‘I Object’ exhibition where it had been displayed to replicate how it had been found in the excavations. Inspired!
Bronze head of #Augustus currently on display in the #IObject @britishmuseum exhibit, positioned to evoke roughly how it was found in Meroe, Sudan: face down under the steps of a temple. Inspired curatorial idea to present it like this & great to see the portrait from new angles.
Is there a lovelier electronic sound than the "ping" when you join a Google Meet?

#twitterchallenge Your Horace quotation to fit these strange times? #Horace
Yeah, yeah "dulce et decorum..."! A-level text 3.6 contains a Horatian line more apposite today: "delicta maiorum inmeritus lues, Romane." Translation which does a little violence to original: "Citizens, you will pay for the sins of your “betters” - though you don’t deserve to"
