By the way, this raises lots of questions for me: Why shorthand? What intended reading practices fit with that choice of script/writing system? What kind of shorthand? Who could actually read it? Who actu wrote it?

I have been playing with the open source "UMap" along with CAWM & DARE Maptiles of the Roman Empire to help people make their own maps for websites, teaching, and books using ancient world data. Is there any interest in learning the basics of DIY maps? umap.openstreetmap.de/en/map/ancie...

If scholars are going to cite or assign an English translation of Eusebius's Church History, it really ought to be Jeremy Schott's excellent work, which is a significant improvement on anything else available—and is also priced extremely accessibly.

Working on some aspect of clothing in #LateAntiquity? Going to NAPS? Submit a proposal to the @catacombsociety.bsky.social organized panel!
catacombsociety.bsky.social International Catacomb Society @catacombsociety.bsky.social · 8d
We are organizing an online session for the 2026 annual meeting of the North American Patristics Society: "Clothing and Meaning-Making in Early Christianity".

Proposal deadline is Nov. 19.

www.patristics.org/annual-meeti...
Clothing and Meaning-Making in Early Christianity (online) Organizers: Arthur Urbano (aurbano@providence.edu) & Robin Jensen (robinmjensen@gmail.com) For this online session organized by the International Catacomb Society, we are seeking papers that address the theme “Clothing and Meaning-Making in Early Christianity”. Garments were a defining aspect of Roman society, serving as markers of status, gender, ethnicity, profession, and so on, part of what Terence Turner coined as “the social skin.” The curation and adornment of the body were not necessarily personal choices, but determined by custom, and sometimes mandated by law, locating individuals within a complex of social categories. But garments are not limited to material forms. They can also be verbalized as text, appearing in literary sources as conveyors of meaning, in the form of metaphor, allegory, or symbol. They also appear visualized in art, not simply displaying what actual garments looked like, but part of the code of the overall composition, contributing to the image’s meaning. Early Christians both subscribed to and challenged the sartorial norms of Roman society and produced material, verbal, and visual garments that created and conveyed meaning. For this session we are looking for papers that specifically address meaning-making through material, textual, and/or visual clothing in Early Christian contexts. This could include textiles with embroidered images, or other material remains; allegorical exegesis of biblical garments, or symbolic interpretations of ascetic or episcopal garments; or, interpretations of garments as represented in catacomb frescoes, or on sarcophagi, or in the mosaics of churches. Alternatively, the complex messaging in garments adorned with both Christian and traditional iconography, such as Dionysian imagery, presents another lens through which to explore the “social skin” of Early Christianity.
