(LRT: I study so-called Augustan Love Elegy as my primary area, but honestly not much of it is "love positive")

Yes, I used a lot of @stephaniemccarter.bsky.social ‘s work to do this, www.washingtonpost.com/books/2022/1... along with @profarumpark.bsky.social + Sara Hales. classicalstudies.org/scs-blog/sar...

The instances of Romans consulting the sacred chickens before engaging in a battle is emblematized by the motto Nulla noxa, nulla gallina or “No harm, no fowl.”

One of the most remarkable objects in #Pompeii is a marble table support with P. Casca Longus inscribed on it. Longus was the 1st assassin to stab Julius Caesar on #IdesOfMarch (today in 44 BC). On his death Longus’ possessions were auctioned & this table was bought by a Pompeian

(last repost: look I probably even agree, but there's something laughably ironic about "AI tools are sending peer-review into a death spiral. We wrote a commercial AI tool to help")

Peer review is facing a death spiral, and AI production tools are speeding it up. AI-assisted reviewing is necessary and should be open. We built OpenAIReview: open AI reviewing for everyone, for the cost of a coffee. openaireview.github.io/blog.html 🧵

Ah ha! Finally @rebeccamenmuir.bsky.social 's article with me on the Nux *by Ovid* (we claim) is in print! Apart from the main finding (which I think is pretty big news), it seems very likely that Medieval Latin elegiac versification is markedly different from Classical ....

On this day in 1274, Thomas Aquinas died. His master piece, the "Summa theologiae" (here: IIa-IIae 29) was greatly appreciated by early book binders (Zentralbibliothek Zürich, Rq 75) www.e-rara.ch/zuz/content/...
