Today's jaunt:

About.com's N.S. Gill highlights an article in the LA Times on Caesarean sections ... I saw this yesterday and wondered whether the author had visited rc's post on the subject ... there's also a post on Ancient Mothers which might be useful for folks wondering how to incoporate Mothers Day into their teaching ...

Bread and Circuses' AM offers us a preview/excerpt from his forthcoming book Rome's Greatest Defeat ...

Bestiaria Latina offers us a Latin story about a snake and a toad (I hope Latin teachers are checking out this site ... good potential supplementary materials) ...

Hobbyblog has a Salonina with a somewhat odd (to me) image of Kore on the reverse ... there's also a very interesting/confusing Republican issue from the year of the Catilinarian Conspiracy (not mentioned on the coin, of course)

A couple of items at phDiva ... the first is some commentary on a Tiepolo painting of Marius and Jugurtha ... there's also a post on Kykeon
