TTT: Warrior Challenge

Last spring PBS had a series called "Warrior Challenge" in which various military types donned the gear of Romans, Vikings, Knights, and Gladiators (apparently not Romans). The companion website is still definitely worth a look and includes, among other things, a nice virtual tour of the Colosseum.

TTT: Noted in passing

Salon has an interesting quote about Latin ... can't say as I agree with it.

Rogueclassicism
1. n. an abnormal state or condition resulting from the forced migration from a lengthy Classical education into a profoundly unClassical world; 2. n. a blog about Ancient Greece and Rome compiled by one so afflicted (v. "rogueclassicist"); 3. n. a Classics blog.

Publishing schedule:
Rogueclassicism is updated daily, usually before 7.00 a.m. (Eastern) during the week. Give me a couple of hours to work on my sleep deficit on weekends and holidays, but still expect the page to be updated by 10.00 a.m. at the latest.
