Not a lot of news today ... let's see if the bloggers pick up the slack:

About.com's N.S. Gill reviews the 12 Labours of Hercules ... there's also a brief item on Clodia/Lesbia

Laudator tells us about he-men and girlie-men ...

Eric at Campus Mawrtius reviews concessive clauses ... there's also an item on Mussolini's palace being opened to the public (it has some Christian tombs beneath it, apparently ... I'm waiting to find an article with more details on this aspect) ....

Hobbyblog offers us a Gallienus with a very nice image of Pax Aeterna ...

Roman History Books' focus today is Pliny the Younger ...
