  1. Going slightly off topic, but I gotta love that the map is set to +7 as default. That's what I call serious global-warming-mania.
  2. Reaching meltdown? Venice is absolutely terrible already and I'm actually surprised that it has't already sunk under the weight of all the tourists.
  3. So did Mr. JNN Hopkins. Yeah I met him in Rome last spring. Seems like it isn't his primary interest though.
  4. Thank you! It's very much appreciated - I wrote my masters on roman sewage systems.
  5. Ah, finally some real archaeology. Sewer news are so rare today! I really wish that I would be able to take a look at that place.
  6. This might be of interest to anyone who want to imagine what Cicero, Vergilius, Catullus and so on might have sounded like!

    People of Sweden

    Yeah it's even worse than my place.
  8. You've got Wall-Mart, we've got Sweden. (You've probably already seen this one)
  9. The Colosseum is, in my opinion, one of the most overrated roman sites of all times. It's terrible crowded, restored into ruins and there's frankly enough, not very much to see. I'm not even sure that I would add it to a list such as this one. The Vatican museum would be placed a little further down. Yes, they have some of the most impressive pieces in the world, but the museum itself makes it painful seeing them. More later, when my paper is finished.
  10. I've read that over 50% of the graffito discussing the emperors in Pompeii are concerned with Nero and almost all of them in a positive manner. That should give you a hint about the what the population was thinking, considering that the normal text evidence was written by a pissed of aristocracy.
  11. Do you know which Classical author made that specific quotation on Caesar's structure?Thanks in advance. I feel an urge to bump this. I would also like to take a look at the original source.
  12. I'd say that there was a bunch of different versions told, but that is a topic for another thread
  13. You make a good point with the non-commercial part. I have no intention to make money out of it.
  14. An interesting thought! 1630 - 1550 BCE ... is that about the time that Moses and Exodus was supposed to have taken place? First of all, uhm, please common, it cannot be news that people want to identify Santorino with Atlantis (which is nothing but ridiculous) Anyway about the Exodus, that is 400 years later I'm affraid. The exodus is dated (by the mention of the founding of two cities, Pitom and Ramses) to the reign of Ramses II (13th century Bc) while the Santorini event has been dated to 1628 Bc by modern methods.
  15. Great work on the review JG!
  16. Welcome to the site Sandra! ~What Mythology stories do you like the best? my favorites are Homers Iliad and Odyssey. That is as made for provoking me into a discussion about what the difference between myth, legend and epic is, CM. Anyway, welcome Sandra!
  17. Hey thanks GMP! I only hope that the blog won't drag me into trouble sooner or later.
  18. Do you have any pictures from the site? Great job with the article by the way!
