iacet ingens litore truncus avulsumque umeris caput et sine nomine corpus. He lies, a huge trunk, on the shore, head severed from the neck, a corpse without a name. Virgil on Priam’s death, a moment of deep pathos (Aeneid 2).

Ecce. Puella librum legit. Feles quoque librum legit. Altera feles, quae fessa est, non legit sed supra puellam dormit. Puella ergo se movere non potest.

On this day in 1763 possibly one of the most important inscriptions in #Pompeii was found outside the Herculaneum Gate. It was to be one of 5 similar inscriptions dating to ~AD 76 found outside the gates of the city & was the first formal identification that the site was Pompeii.

Bound together through grief and by holding hands, these 5th/4th century BC women once processed and danced inside a tomb found in Ruvo di Puglia. The rhythm of their movement & their coloured garments is just beautiful and looks almost abstract. #FrescoFriday @MANNapoli

Someone kindly sent me an image of the Nuncio's actual credentials, which are of course in Latin - and curiously (😉) omit Charles III's title of Defender of the Faith...

Can anyone help decipher this? Uffington white horse, text from Beowulf or that period, maybe related to Reading University.

Naturally, I have been casting The Muppet Iliad, and here are my choices… We start with Gonzo as Homer, and Rizzo as Rizzo, of course.

Numbers vary from scholar to scholar, but 5-15% death rate (based on winners and losers) in hoplite battle, while it is supposed that 1/6 (16%) of women died in childbirth, with the average women giving birth six times.

In the Middle English dialect of the south of England, fricative sounds like /f/ at the start of words became voiced – so /f/ became /v/, and a fox was a "vox". A couple of these voiced variants have even made it into the standard language. It's why a female fox is a 'vixen'.

Callander House is currently showcasing this lovely exhibition about our local history. Rediscovering the Antonine Wall. This exhibition tells the story of the Antonine Wall and aims to increase awareness and engagement with the frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site.


Plato's cave is easy and engaging to listen to when it's read this well! youtu.be/k8_S8-Ld66Y.
