Our friends at contubernales.bsky.social are having a sale which INCLUDES our new book A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology! Buying direct from Contubernales means we don't lose half the profit to fees and stuff like we do on other sites, which means more money toward our outreach projects.

If you've got 10 minutes, can you help this MA candidate with their dissertation on the motivations of history practioners of every type?

Some reading for the current mood. It pays to be vigilant and speak clearly about your stance on these issues within our discipline and beyond. www.workingclassicists.com/zine/the-ant...

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth. There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions. We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing. One might even call it "Fake history".

Excellent. A logical explanation that doesn’t claim to be the answer but is explained well. Thanks @profaliceroberts.bsky.social for sharing.

A very interesting video. I agree with the final words of Flint that our historical understanding is not set in stone and is constantly evolving. It is an approach that should be applied to all areas of historical research.

“He owns holy relics…a bit from the Crown of Thorns”…a fragment of the True Cross…” Of course he does. Sorry Mr Mogg, I believe you’ve been duped. www.newstatesman.com/culture/tv/2...
