Ok. If someone had three nights in Dublin and had never been to Ireland, what neighborhood should they book for accommodation?! RTs welcome.

Is this for Alan, @turhansbeycompany.bsky.social ?

Knowledge Commons question. I created an account long ago, and just went to check in on it. I then tried an upload, but it (a) asked me to re-login, then (b) gave me a “bad gateway” error. This happened on two different machines/operating systems/browsers. Anybody else seeing anything like this?

Excellent opportunity here (both the Institute specifically and time in Budapest more generally)!

The Association of Ancient Historians meeting will be in Iowa City from April 16-18, 2026. For those new to the AAH, we have preset panel themes; you pick 1 to apply to. The theme overall is Ancient Exchanges in a Global Antiquity. See CFP: abstracts are due by December 1. aah.conference.uiowa.edu

This seems important here.

Best reviewer comment I ever got was a complaint that my MS was too critical of Riggsby (1995).

Please tell me that you are doing 'Mosaics of Knowledge II: Late Antiquity's Revenge'.

Question about the proposed Anthropic settlement. The news reports all talk about payouts to "authors," but I (for instance) don't hold the copyright to any of my books. So would potential payments go the the respective presses instead?

I was just trying to log in to the jobs wiki (the data one, not FV or whatever it's called now), and the usual credentials didn't work. The instructions on the page itself (referring to Austin) don't appear to have changed. Anybody else having any trouble?

Well. It’s official. You can now submit your proposals to the New Perspectives on Ancient Greek Religion book series, published by Edinburgh University Press! #ClassicsBluesky 🏺

Any thoughts on this more generally, @grammartable.bsky.social ?

This is an interesting observation. I haven't used spec grading, but I'm curious about whether others have had the experience described here (and in the immediately preceding post)?

Michael Putnam has passed. A major figure in Latin poetry, especially due to his interpretation of the Aeneid. At Brown, he was wonderfully supportive of his students, myself as well as many fortunate others. sttl, Michael.

I can’t reply to posts in this thread, but none of my writers had won one.

In which Cliff Ando concentrates his formidable powers of analysis in a broad-based and razor-sharp indictment of the University of Chicago over the last few decades. My lord. This is *withering*.

Many, many points for Prof. Hays here:

A bit of Classical reception at the MFA in Houston. The titular Zmyrina is seemingly in fact a barmaid known from a couple of (mock?) electoral programmata. db.edcs.eu/epigr/ae/ae1...

This is such a great project.

Delighted to see this up online, *with* the cover image: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

hybrid conference starts Monday (June 30): "Ancient Practical Expertise and Knowledge Practices: Pragmatic texts, handbooks and compendia – cultural dynamics, developments and epistemic functions of practical knowledge" www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/en/e/wissens...

The linked article lists Classical Studies as one of the departments at Indiana University that "could lose its main offerings." This is a major US university with a distinguished tradition in Classics. Dire news.

I decided to learn how to do Lino block printing and this is my first effort. She’s a little rustic but I’m pretty proud of her.

If people in my Roman history survey learn one thing….
