Links for 9 April

Here are some of the interesting things we’ve found this week!

  • Diary of a Wimpy Kid is getting its own Latin translation, available in the US in September.
  • The most recent issue of National Geographic has a piece on Trajan’s Column and includes a pull-out poster.  Their online site has a stop-motion animation of how the column was built.
  • The Guardian has a piece discussing art and athleticism as part of a promotion for a special exhibit going on at the British Museum.
  • The New York Insider at the New York Times did a short piece on a letter printed by the Times in Latin and the editorial response in Latin!
  • Finally, the blog Pompeian Connection has a fun article called “On Fools and Fakes” about election inscriptions with, shall we say, less than serious intentions!
