visited #CentraleMontemartini yesterday and was totally floored when I encountered this life-size #tropaeum. My article on the tropaeum in the #Aeneid will come out in a few months. Looking at it, I was more than ever convinced that these monuments marked the trauma of war as well as victory.

Incredible visit to #Palestrina. Sharing a lovely detail from the amazing #Nilemosaic; I'm obsessed with the two #obelisks outside the temple and the #Nilometer!

have been reading Plutarch's de Iside et Osiride the last couple of weeks: today I had fun exploring images of the persea tree, sacred to Isis. Here's an image from the Papyrus of Ani, Book of the Dead

so sick of getting bombarded with emails from companies that want me to give them my expertise for free... they would never dare ask a lawyer or a financial consultant without paying them. The same respect is not afforded to professors so I responded, 'show me the money.' #notworkingforfree

so I've got to tell you that the best reader of an audiobook I have ever listened to is Dan Stevens reading Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. I mean I knew he was a terrific actor, but man, does he bring that book to life. Found out he has also done the Fitzgerald Odyssey. Wow.

does anyone else find it hard to write a book review without adopting the same old clichéd language? I'm tired of it but don't see a way out!
