Here are some sites we’ve found over the last week. Hope you enjoy!

Yvonne Seale presents a plethora of resources for anyone interested in the palaeography of medieval manuscripts. My favorite is a link to an app that allows people to browse documents, zoom in on words, and comes with a list of abbreviations and sample letter forms!
An article in the New Scientist discusses how we might now be able to read more of the scrolls found in Pompeii.
Some of over 600 statues in Italy held by the Torlonia family can soon be seen publicly, so reports the Guardian.
Martius Madness – an article by Sarah Bond on sports, games and gambling in the ancient world.
From the blog Refine the Mind, musings on minimalism from an ancient perspective.
