I am delighted to see my article on a bilingual pun in Catullus 50 published today in Greece & Rome 😊. If you fancy reading it, you can find it here: bit.ly/45NmD0a #ClassicsTwitter

@SarahGi78263526 Me too. See you over there! ☺️

@DaisyfDunn @Hellenic_Soc I always do!

@TraffTweets @Hellenic_Soc Excellente! Thank you. I hope you enjoy it. I'm already at work on the next one...

It's always a good day when Argo comes through the post. #ClassicsTwitter

@SteveLlewellyn4 @DaisyfDunn @Hellenic_Soc A few years ago, I finally got round to joining the Hellenic Society. I love being able to use the library at Senate House and to get this and the JHS through the post.

This evening's reading is this fantastic edition. #ClassicsTwitter #BookTwitter

@xiyuan_meng Yes, I like Quinn. A safe pair of hands when it comes to Catullus.

@TraffTweets Seems that there is a great overlap in our book collection! This volume is great, well, perhaps I should say all books by Quinn are quite enjoyable to read!

I will be dipping into this volume today. #ClassicsTwitter #BookTwitter

As I suggested to new Tory shadow ministers, perhaps the former minister for common sense can help them find some. This Labour government has chosen investment over decline. Will the Conservative Party really vote against it? If so, what would they do differently? 👇

In the ancient city of Halaesa Archonidea (now known as Tusa), on the northern coast of Sicily, archaeologists have uncovered a series of monumental structures and remains. #ClassicsTwitter labrujulaverde.com/en/2024/10/a-h…

I'm pleased to say that we did a good few of these on my recent school trip to Sicily. I will have to go back without the school group to tick off the rest of this list. #ClassicsTwitter nationalgeographic.com/travel/article…

@The_Latin_Tutor It really is.

@TraffTweets An amazing bookshop!

Purchased these three books yesterday from the Hellenic Bookservice in Kentish Town, all for £20. Bargain. #ClassicsTwitter

@sutekh69 Awesome news.

It’s taken a while but it appears from medical tests that repeated attempts by a former workplace to put me six feet under have failed. I am, it seems, well again!

Today's Budget will fix the foundations to deliver change. Here are just some of the things announced by @RachelReevesMP today 👇

There is nothing quite like having a quiet moment to sit and relax. A pint and GG are perfect companions for this Autumn afternoon.
