Sad that it came to this, but from following this feed I suspect that it will be for the best.

I think that’s in fact the most-cited thing I’ve ever written.

Some references in my cubiculum article, and I think some later work by Laura Nissin, but I think it’s not clear that there’s a clear custom in that respect (also “share a bedroom” is itself unclear).

i wonder if anyone's looked at parallels between this and Singapore's push towards hawker centers?

With an extremely low level of confidence, I'd guess on general principle that the professors could use the extra structure, but the structure of your sentence seems to hint in the opposite direction.

I may have asked you this before (but I can't find it). There's a photo circulating on the internet of a set of these, sometimes accompanied by a caption saying that they are in a 1:2:4:8:16 volume ratio (or something like that). Do you happen to know where they actually are (if anywhere)?

I wrote a paper my junior year of college (85/6) that required its use. Maybe first undergrad digital humanities assignment in Classics?

Yes, but only if you have the non-obvious information that what’s short-handed as “life expectancy” is a mean.

Coincidentally, I'm in a Georgian cuisine deep dive at the moment. Good to see ISAW doing this scholarly work.

I was wondering about the odd look of that last I. Btw, you may have this already, but there's an odd ancient context in which IIIIII is common for 6. There's a priesthood of seviri who in some area are VIviri, but elsewhere IIIIIIviri. Actually, in those cases they're mostly IiiiiIviri.

It’s still bizarre to me that two good books on this came out at essentially the same time.

In walking distance of our department (and even closer to Art History).

Not high on the list of problems here, but it seems to me that there's also a misunderstanding of "trustee" here, no sense that they are supposed to act of an institution that exists independently of them, not one which they own.

Doubtless.

Very good. In the present context I'm interested in a particular *representational* feature, but I imagine that the book would at least have a giant supply of examples.
