This is fantastic news.

Does anyone have a Greek epigraphy reading list that they'd be willing to share? We have a grad student who is interested in complementing their work in Latin epigraphy, and while I've done some work on inscriptions, I am certainly not an epigrapher! Image for visibility...

God, Slavery, and Early Christianity is out in the real world with @universitypress.cambridge.org! I have some extra, so retweet this by the end of Oct. 19 if you’re interested in receiving a copy! Book info here: www.cambridge.org/core/books/g...

Anyone know how to add these small square open brackets (highlighted) to a Word document on a Mac? I’ve tried everything I know and am at a loss. Who knew when working with inscriptions one of the harder things would be adding diacritical marks? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Excited for Susan’s monograph to be out in the wild!

Love this graphic on understanding material culture.

As I’m eyeball deep in inscription archives this morning, I can’t stop thinking about how AI is shoved down our throats everywhere I turn but it really isn’t equipped to do what researchers and historians do.

My 1 year old really went, oh Mom has a writing deadline? Afternoon naps are for the birds.

Roman Historian friends—wondering if you can help me out here on the Julio-Claudian dynasty. I’m researching Antonia the Younger and wondering what you consider the most primary discussions of her? Thinking along the lines of major monographs or pivotal sources on her.

Dissertation writing energy this morning.

Very very excited about this resource!

A pox on endnotes and having to go back and ILL them.

Alas, not accepted to present an SBL paper this year, but I’m very excited to see all your lovely paper topic acceptances and root you on from the crowd. Keep posting about what you’re doing!

After you keep seeing a book come up in footnote after footnote, it’s probably time to just go ahead and buy it. Excited to finally get this monograph for researching.

This looks very cool and I truly wish I could hop over the pond to go.

40 BOOKS IN ROMAN HISTORY WRITTEN BY WOMEN A killer reading list of great books (and personal favorites!) in Roman History to celebrate #InternationalWomen'sDay 2025. Limited to English (to keep it manageable!) and listed in order of publication. Let's go!

I am once again lamenting that there are too many Salomes in the Jewish world and woe to you in trying to find the right one if you’re happening to do research on any one of them.

Thinking about submitting some proposals for SBL for the first time. Any veterans have advice for this process?

Calling all Romanists, we really need to know! 💅

I have some news. I can now take on PhD candidates at the Australian University of Theology. So if you want to do further research in the New Testament or the early Christian church 1st-3rd centuries, I might be able to help you. aut.edu.au/research/fin...

Really loving this starter pack by @andrewconnor.bsky.social for Roman History and the like! go.bsky.app/FRyw2gA

Speaking of Herodians this morning, does anyone know of a robust Herodian family tree? I need one that includes both men and women. Tal Ilan’s is a good starting point for me but I’m wondering if there’s a more comprehensive one I’ve missed?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, HBO really sleeping on a Games of Thrones-like show with the Herodians (albeit minus the dragons).

Will this dissertation inscription side quest provide a magical treasure at the end or be a massive waste of time? Nooobody knowwws

She’s giving dissertation energy. Wild. Doing my own thing. Making a mess in the snow. Picking up sticks that are too big for me.

The Dark Snow Queen in her natural habitat.

Really wishing I had a concise cheat sheet of names in Josephus this morning.

Great little thread on the Hasmoneans.

It’s a data slog day.

Is it AI or is this student just not a good writer? The perennial question of my paper grading life.

Ok #SBLAAR2024 friends now is the time I say—You should submit your paper for publication in a journal!! Since I edit for one, I can give you some guidance on how to do this (length, format, style, topics accepted, etc.), please send me a message! I’m ready to edit some awesome new stuff!!

Another day and another date with Josephus. Buuuuut very excited to know this volume is out as I’m in these books of Antiquities today. 🤩

As a PhD student, I’ve TA/RA’d for a lot of profs in my educational life. My absolute favorite profs to work for are those that use the work they have me do to teach me new skills or help further my own research in new and interesting ways and not just to benefit themselves.

It’s been fun San Diego. #aarsbl

Susan and I are just having a blast listening to papers in this section on Benefactors in Asia Minor through numismatics.

A packed room to hear A.J. Levine talk about purity in the Gospel of Luke. #aarsbl

My Uber driver just asked me about numerology, so I guess let’s unlock #sblaar bingo already.

Heading out for #aarsbl24 and miracle of miracles the flight is mostly empty. Aaaand guess it’s time to start grading that set of papers I’ve been ignoring.

Very important #sblaar conference prep happening over here.

My Doktormutter has arrived! Go give @amypeeler.bsky.social a follow!

After just spending the last couple of months deep diving into Alexandra, love seeing this article.

And welcome @sebenton.bsky.social! Seriously, go pick yourself up a copy of her fantastic dissertation.

Well this just seems real cool.

How November pre-SBL/AAR always feels.

I don’t know when Loeb changed their search function, but absolute game changer for me today. Let’s get into it Josephus!

This looks fantastic and Cicero, Dio, & Plutarch endorsements! 😂

Sometimes I love Interlibrary Loan so much it hurts
