Of the 500 or so priests discussed in the book - everyone from Romulus to Hadrian - perhaps my favourite is L. Volusius Saturninus, who died at 93, held multiple priesthoods, and was honoured by the senate and emperor Nero with a whopping seven statues in Rome en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_...

Teaching Beginner’s Latin for a group of 40+. I set two pieces of homework a week - one I mark, one that I have them peer-mark, and only go through in class those exercises they struggled with. I also set a formative, marked, practice test and exam. It’s a lot of work, but find it helpful!
