And I’m grateful to @flissina.bsky.social for listening to my concerns about one piece, and pointing me to the Howells book where a mention in a footnote led me to finding a second looted piece. And locating both!

Well, enjoy Pisa.
If you need a basic pensione, the Gialel has this amazing capital built into the facade.
Trattoria da Stelio is good and good priced.

I stayed in a pensione for a conference with a similar view. Beware the mosquitoes 🦟 in summer, it’s too close to the Arno.

The irony is that although I had to change my first topic - on Hecamonmid and Macedonian 4th c BC royal patronage … between the Hecatomnus Tomb and Amphipolis, I probably contributed more to that field 🤷♀️.

And we’d get paid to write articles and reviews for popular archeological magazines, to teach a postgrad class, lots of little things to add income - now most of those are not around any more. Hence the appeal of funded (no choice) PhDs, that suit museums or established research projects.

Also, funding has changed in UK, now universities charge. I had my fees paid and a stipend for living on, won a scholarship. Because of the expansion of university education, that doesn’t happen anymore - a First led to automatic funding of postgrad in those days. Not any more. Now it’s loans! 🤷♀️

I think funding has changed things. In UK 1994 I chose my topic, my professor changed it a bit to suit his needs. Now people apply for funded PhD on topics that are part of funded research projects a lot more - so obviously there’s less choice with those. It’s economically sensible for them to.

Slip a little note into the next ones that are recalled … think of it as a sort of letter in a bottle. Might be the start of a beautiful friendship.

I did quite a lot of research on that collection, partly because some come from an older one that dealer acquired! Most of the Getty corrections come from me - like the bearded Octavian not being ex Piombino. It was a lot of dodgy marketing by sellers 🤷♀️
