A few tidbits have accumulated over the past hours:

Laudator has a piece on a (rogue?) Latin mass in Belgium ... he's also pondering a bit of simianity and the perils of posthumous publication ...

Alun looks at the orientation of Roman forts and camps ...

About.com's N.S. Gill enlightens us about Themis ...

Bestia Latina has some proverbia legenda pages ...

Father Foster's latest: Listening to the words of the Hail Mary in Latin provides our popular “Latin Lover” with the opportunity to lodge a complaint as to the lack of use of this universal language of the Catholic Church in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council...


My caerulean gaze has been drawn to the existence online of Studia Humaniora Tartuensia ... 'an open access on-line journal of the humanities'; lots of ClassCon in the online issues (which are free!) ...

Also (new) online is something called New Voices in Classical Reception Studies, which has a number of essays on the reception of Classical Drama in the twentieth century available ...

... and fulfilling the scholastic law of three, Nordicum Mediterraneum bills itself as the Icelandic E-Journal of Nordic and Mediterranean studies ... only one item (in English) currently seems to have any connection to the Mediterranean, but we'll keep our eye on this one too ...

Potentially doorworthy Rubes:



We've posted our weekly version of the Ancient World on Television listings ... and issue 8.49 of our Explorator newsletter ... both at our Classics Central Forum (which has had a pile of other updates inflicted upon it too! hopefully we'll keep up with it now)
