It’s been over six months, why is this still the bio for Italian Manpower! There must be some poor undergrads very disappointed with their *actual* assigned reading…

@em_chambs @teganjoyy This is the only method I know. When it betrays me I have nothing…

@teganjoyy It’s not elegant… but it works!

At what point in my PhD will I just learn the shortcut for an em dash instead of googling it and copy-pasting?

@portusprince @kataplexis @carlosfnorena @profyarrow @lykanthea @platanoclassics Essentially entitlement to the distributions is pretty poorly documented all round, the best guess is that it is based around the census lists (as Clodius maybe tried to burn these records), and the exclusion of women is basically an assumption.

@portusprince @kataplexis @carlosfnorena @profyarrow @lykanthea @platanoclassics I've also read that the alimenta which was given to children in the later empire (in cities outside Rome) was comparable to a grain dole in value but unfortunately cannot find the source right now.

@joce_cpt (Unless it’s the publisher responsible for this monstrosity)

@joce_cpt Never forget proquest inexplicably deciding they don’t need to include page numbers on some texts… I carried a copy of the patrician tribune around for months thanks to this fun quirk

Only 2 more days until The Cancelled Conference 2.0. The conference will showcase exciting research from Australasian postgraduates @WomenAncient @RoryArdill @James_clay1 @Christie_lover @teganjoyy @TylaCascaes @SkibinskiConnie @SuzieCaarter @TonyaRushmer @joce_cpt

@joce_cpt It’s obviously nah, with emphasis on the nasal a

That’s me!

@portusprince The reviews must be getting interesting!

The Google books entry for Italian Manpower is looking a bit spicier than I remembered?

@SarahPrinceps Sorry for the cruel brag

@SarahPrinceps I actually have them all... but yours are much prettier!

oh yeah, it's all coming together 😎

@SarahPrinceps So we are in a better position than most arts postgrad

@SarahPrinceps Luckily classics people have access to a separate library that also has lockers, but it’s in a weird situation where it’s semi seperate from the uni but not really

Hey Postgrads of #ClassicsTwitter (esp. AUS/NZ) help me out with something - how many of you have a permanent personal desk space on campus at your institution?

@ptjchan Certainly tokenistic at the least!

@ptjchan Really undermines the intention...
