Given no one really knows what subjects to study to be resilient in the future perhaps this might free young people up to study things they enjoy says @sarahoconnorft.ft.com

This Roman monument in Athens - the Tower of the Winds - resonates well with the theme of our colloquium on Seneca’s Natural Questions (winds feature prominently in Book 5):
This movie - whose title is inspired by Seneca’s Natural Questions - is quite something, though maybe not to the taste of Seneca purists…
Very much looking forward to taking part - with some world-leading Seneca experts - in what I am sure will be a fascinating colloquium on the Natural Questions in Athens this week:

Thrilled to have just received the rather lovely hard copy of the new edition of my *The politics of immorality in Ancient Rome* reissued with a generous foreword by Caroline Vout and a new intro by me in the *Cambridge Classical Classics* series.
Very honoured to be named here - and in such distinguished company! Coincidentally *The politics of immorality* has just been reissued with a generous foreword by C.Vout and new intro by me in the *Cambridge Classical Classics* series.
Very excited that my copy of Francesca Martelli's new Cicero book has arrived. A gorgeous cover, too:

What an excellent devil!
Enchanting - but often poignant - Tirzah Garwood exhibition at @dulwichgallery.bsky.social . Such a distinctive view of the world.
This will be a real treat!
A doorway with an unusual triangular arch built from red brick at the foot of a church tower. In the background can be seen the main body of the church.
Is this England's best doorway? Leading into the tower of the Holy Trinity in Colchester, it was built in the 11th century but is constructed from Roman bricks plundered from the ruins of the ancient city of Camulodunum #AdoorableThursday
