BM Classical Assoc.

What a fabulous lecture this evening! Thank you @LloydLlewJ for coming to talk to us. We will never again take Herodotus' word for anything.

BMCA autumn lecture @CA_BhamMids exploring 'Iranian Perceptions of the Heroic' in the 300 film franchise - lots to talk about now! @LloydLlewJ #solschtrips #neverstoplearning

@ALD_History Congratulations to you all! Looking forward to seeing new Y12 Ancient Historians at one of our Ancient History events next academic year!

Best of luck to all GCSE Classical Civilisation students sitting papers today! #ocrclassics #GCSE2019 #ocrclassicalcivilisation

A-level students! Ever wondered what it would be like to be an archaeologist? Try a week this summer digging a Roman bathhouse at Silchester (famed from Eagle of the Ninth). Bursaries include all meals & instruction. You provide the tent! Sponsored by @UniRdg_Arch

Beautiful reading of 'The Librarians' Power' from 'The Paths of Survival' just up on Liam Guilar's poetry podcast. Lots of others to discover there too, from Anglo-Saxon verse onwards liamguilar.com/the-poetry-voi…

Stop! Homer Time - Chatting with @EmilyRCWilson overduepodcast.com/episodes/2019/…

@AnnaJMcO @WMidClassicsHub @WarwickClassNet And, especially if you plan a trip to the Roman Villa at @NTChedworth - which you should! - then get 'Chedworth: Life in a Roman Villa' by Prof Simon Esmonde-Cleary of @CAHA_UoB .

So I've got a few ££ left in the budget and I'd like to buy some decent books for ALevel Ancient History. 📣RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE!📣 We do Phillip of Macedon & Ruling Roman Britain as our chosen units. RTs pls! #ClassicsTwitter #AncientHistory @WMidClassicsHub @WarwickClassNet

@AnnaJMcO @WMidClassicsHub @WarwickClassNet A must-read for getting your pupils inspired about Roman Britain: 'Under Another Sky: Journeys in Roman Britain' by Charlotte Higgins (@chiggi ).

@AnnaJMcO @WMidClassicsHub @WarwickClassNet You will already have the 'very short introduction to Roman Britain' by Peter Salway?

@AnnaJMcO @WMidClassicsHub @WarwickClassNet A Companion to Roman Britain, ed. Malcolm Todd, 2008 (Wiley) should be very useful.

"Extra: Dr. Emma Southon on Agrippina the Younger" (zeitsprung.fm/podcast/extra-…)

"What I'm trying to do in my research at the moment is thinking about ways that might explain why the Spartans could have been perceived as different" - our full research video with @CAHA_UoB's Andrew Bayliss is at youtube.com/watch?v=AXsptS…
