Teaching classics means taking pupils to Rome and having them experience the eternal city.
We took the train from Culemborg to Rome, the Odyssey was nothing compared to our adventures... Once in Rome we had four amazing days. Roma, Vatican city and a bike ride. Looking forward to the next trip!

Ok I already delved too deep into Classics teaching on my first day... Seeing "Verg." in my work calendar I assumed a special class on Vergil. It was an abbreviation for "Vergadering" (🇳🇱 for meeting)

Last week was a bit hectic. I was in Rio the Janeiro to present & teach a #QGIS course at URRJ as part of a collaboration with @uni-hamburg.de. In addition I was interviewed by a Dutch radio station on my research. For those understanding Dutch / brave enough to try:

Last minute preparations for my #lecture at the Roman Youth University #Thermenmuseum #Heerlen this Sunday. I will be giving a 'Curse like a Roman' #Workshop. We will learn to read & write Old Roman Cursive.
I wrote a 'Roman' curse (in Dutch) based on the #LatinNow materials!

The ATLAS project, where I am a #postdoc, has 3 seats and 4 core members! Casa de Velázquez in #Madrid 🇪🇸, La Rochelle Université 🇫🇷 and my #workplace at @uni-hamburg.de 🇩🇪
It is an amazing opportunity to work in such an #international project!

The Sunday walks were amazing with beautiful, impressive autumn skies. A lovely walk along the Lek river at #Culemborg.
Listening was not mandatory, according to Duc. And zoomies were in place with the branch found along the path.

Last Friday I presented my #research within the 🇪🇸🇩🇪 TOLETUM #Workshop: Espacios para el diálogo with the La colonización como diálogo? With historical #GIS approach of sequence mapping, we can discuss the influence of Republican diplomatic activities on the reorganization of the settlement system.

A minor mistake was made today... In an attempt to scare the ducks, Duc ran into the lush green pasture formed by lemna. Blissfully unaware of the fact it covers a ditch he jumped onto the lemna. Important side note: he hates swimming.
Now back at home with the nice smell of wet dog and ditch water.
