Adrian Murdoch's Romulus Augustulus book will be out soon ... there's also an interesting post finding a parallel in Ammianus to an incident in Iraq ...
Mary Beard reveals and will be examining the claim that the Capitoline wolf that is a symbol of Rome was actually made in the Middle Ages ... (I wish someone would point out that the head of the darned thing -- especially the ears -- doesn't look at all like a wolf ... something that's bugged me for years and years and years, but maybe European wolves are different) ...
I've probably missed something along the way ...
