Let me see what I can do!

Thanks a lot guys! Party coming up tonight!

I don't think we have a digital copy for sale, but I'm sure that Viggen will be able to answer your question much better than I can. He is however quite busy, so it might take one or two days before he replies. Please be patient! On a side note, I have the physical map and it is gorgeous!

This is a sad day, I can't even think of what has been lost. Article here

Topic moved, I hope that I haven't created any confusion.

A nice documentary, but I suspect that it was more for show than anything else, none of the find the found were actually "true treasures". Thanks for the ling Guy!

I would be negligent if I didn't draw your attention to the excellent statue of Mars in the Yorkshire Museum, York. He's so impressive, he acts as their poster-boy. Wow, that's a great one! Where does it come from (original context that is)?

A high def picture would be fine so long as it had all the 12 Olympians and a bit about them all..! I thought you could buy ANYTHING on the internet..but obviously not....! When do you need it? I might (big might) be able to work something out for you.

Does it need to be poster, or will a high def picture do?

I, unfortunately, don't know a lot about this sort of thing, but I would highly recommend you to get in touch with Mats Pehrson (University of Gothenburg/G

I'm in!

Great stuff Doc! On a side note, I just so happen to know that Siri is quite useless here (oh, well, I actually live in Berlin atm, regardless...) in Sweden - but I'm not sure if it has to do with out barbarian accent or missing programming.

Great news Viggen! I really happy for you!

Wow, I really hate it when I miss your posts Gaius! This is really interesting.

Thanks for Posting Melvadius. I have never heard of these before!

I haven't read the work in question but you should know that you must be very cautious reading any literature on Roman economy older than 1990-1995. Especially the Finley era (1965 - roughly the 90's and to some extent still today) is dangerous as he portrayed a very dark picture of the ancient world (parasite cities, no trade of value, no inventions to boost the economy). The view is considerably lighter today as more and more archaeological evidence support long distance trade and so on. I would recommend taking a look at The archaeology of the Roman economy (which is a rather topic specific work) by Kevin Greene (1990) and/or the following articles. Let me know if you can't get your hands on them. Green 2000: K. Green,

My apologies, I didn't see that we had on 1a and one 1.

But the internet is also dangerous; here is a version from Palazzo Altemps where the piece is identified as Hera (with the face of Antonia Minor). Where did you find your information? I'm quite curious to compare the two sources.

This is surely not to be seen as a general statement, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has been used (e.g. in a Testudo formation). It is possible that the author found a reference in the ancient literature and used it without thinking.

Haha, true, so they tell me. A further question thou, Sch

Do you know which specific piece this is? I mean the original in Altemps or another copy?

Happy birthday!

Great post Ghost! Now I just need to figure out a way to get to switzerland! You really make me wish it was close by.
