As the holiday break draws to an all-too-soon close (as always), things seem to be picking up a bit:
We'll start off with N.S. Gill's interesting little feature on Pompey's wives ...
Kristian Minck had an interesting item on wagon types in the Roman Empire ... there was also a very interesting post on the relationship between measurements of wagon tracks on Roman roads and wagon construction ... there was also some comparative material from Iron Age Denmark discussed ...
David Parsons came across a number of items I missed, including Virgil's impending starring role in a musical ... there was also an interesting piece on the GSCE Latin exam (which seems connected to all the recent editorials and the like on matters Latinical (I love making up words) ...
Adrian Murdoch comments on the upcoming new series of Rome ... there's also more on Sedulius (who must certainly be becoming much more widely known after a few weeks' worth of blogattention) ... oh, and happy belated bloggiversary (Hallmark or their online equivalents really need to come up with a card for this sort of thing) ...
Michael Gilleland was collecting references to children looking like their fathers (hmm ... no mention of the Anna Nicole Smith paternity thing?) ... a post arising from an interesting package ... Pitfalls ... a timely quote from Sophocles ...
Saddam's execution got Mary Beard thinking about Cicero's death ...
Irene Hahn had an eclectic selection this week ... on Paul of Tarsus ... Anthony Burgess ... tied together, of course, with the latter's Kingdom of the Wicked ... there was also a bit on Juvenal from Google Books ...
Troels Myrup had an interesting photo of some fakes in a museum ... he also had some news from the Zea Harbour Project ...
Glaukopis visited that Bible exhibit at the Sackler ...
At Classics Reloaded, MJD is looking at the Antigone ...
Nathan Bauman finished off the Odyssey comments with a series of posts on ... 20 ... 21 ... 22 ... 23-24 ... final comments ...
Ed Flinn had his usual assortment of good stuff at Hobbyblog (was that Providentia walking her dog?) ...
New (to me, at least) blogs of note this week: Sacred Antinous ... and of course, we cannot fail to mention Judith Weingarten's Zenobia blog (which was very well-publicized over the course of the week) ... I also became aware of the Romans Go Home blog, which, alas, now appears defunct (?) ...
Elsewhere on the www, Ginny Lindzey has updated the NCLG Website ...
There's also a new issue of Anistoriton up ...
My spiders don't seem to be timely in picking up updates to Fr. Coulter's site and additional stuff from Father Foster, but we can point to an archive of a bunch of Latin Lover files from 2005 ... this google link picks up others (scroll down a bit) ...
I've also decided that the comparing-today-to-ancient-Rome posts are more of a Carnival thing than an everyday thing (I'll admit I'm growing increasingly bored of reading them) and those that caught my jaded eye this week include one by Robert Fisk at ZNet (taking its impetus from classes with Malcolm Willcock) ... R. Bragg sent in this one (thanks!) from Real Clear Politics (which I don't really find clear) ...
Issue 9.37 of our Explorator newsletter has been posted at Yahoo ... the weekly version of our Ancient World on Television listings will be similarly posted by the end of the day (and what a busy day lies ahead!) ...
For those of you who were wondering, we return to 'normal' posting tomorrow a.m. (i.e. with This Day in Ancient History, Nuntii Latini, etc.) ...
