CANE Summer Institute Free Public Lecture Series

This entry was posted in Feature Posts on by

Though it is too late to sign up for our annual Summer Institute, many public lectures will be given during the week of July 13th through the 18th. They are held at Brown University, and there are many days featuring both a morning and evening lecture. This is a great opportunity to hear topics surrounding the theme of “Exegi Monumentum: Creating the Everlasting in the Ancient World.” Please see the attached poster for more information or contact canesummerinstitute2015 at gmail.com.

Pompeii, Survey, Chalet: Links for 3 July

This entry was posted in Links on by

Here are some of the articles and items of interest we’ve seen on the Web this week!

  • The Smithsonian has an article on Pompeii and the troubles it’s been having.
  • Did you miss the ACL Institute in Storrs, CT?  Chris Buczek has compiled a Google doc full of links to presentations given there!
  • Elliot Goodman’s National Latin Survey is now releasing its results, and there is sure to be conversation and controversy!
  • Popular Archaeology has an article talking about a 3-D imagining project mapping Ammaia, a Roman town in Portugal.  Note that the full article and video is accessible only through a paywall.
  • The Villia Domitia is open again after 15 years.  Go visit a Neronian family home on your next trip to Tuscany!
  • Finally, an unusual request for Harvard admission documented in 1891, brought to you by the Harvard Crimson.
