  • The Telegraph has a story about the completion of the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources after a century of work!
  • The Washington Post has an article about the visit of the Dying Gaul to the National Gallery of Art.
  • and finally, some Brits in Chester are planning a big Saturnalia bash and the local paper has it covered!
