@NuclearTeeth "it's ritualistic activity" is to archaeology what "it's an ecumenical matter" is to theology.

@DawsonJed @simonmontefiore I will almost certainly be doing live events over the summer :-)

@andrewkenrick @simonmontefiore I'll definitely be a customer, hope you also do a book talk in London about it, ask @simonmontefiore I've seen him do great talks at Daunts in Marylebone

This is terribly good. I ve wanted to read a biography of Juba II of Mauretania all my life and here it is. The African Scholar king married to Cleopatra Selene daughter of Mark Antony triumvir & Cleopatra VII Ptolemaic queen of Egypt. Its a delight and must-read @andrewkenrick

@simonmontefiore Thank you Simon, that's very kind of you to say.

@DawsonJed @simonmontefiore Jane's book is great - I see Cleopatra's Daughter as a sibling to my own.

@simonmontefiore @andrewkenrick The book about his wife the other year was excellent as well, this new one will be squeezed onto my bookshelf next to it!!!

@GailSimone I met some Argentinian friends for the first time in person last week. The gift they brought me… dulce de leche!

The first gift I got in Argentina was Dulce de leche.

@DrJEBall @penswordbooks Yay! Can’t wait to read it.

I've also recently submitted a second book to @penswordbooks, this one about the war between #Rome & Tacfarinas, a #Roman auxiliary soldier turned bandit & rebel in the early reign of Tiberius. It turns out that writing history can be quite addictive! #HistoryWritersDay24

@_HardeepDhindsa @edithmayhall Congratulations! Such a huge achievement.

#PhDone 🎉 83,378 words later I’ve finally submitted my doctoral thesis on empire, colonial wealth, and the collection of classical antiquities in the 18th century HUGE thank you to my supervisors, Professors William Fitzgerald, Phiroze Vasunia, and Edith Hall (.@edithmayhall)

@Garfytwit The time my bookshelf collapsed on my Battlefleet Gothic fleet, smashing it to smithereens… or more recently when I leant over to turn the desk lamp on and snapped Jain Zar’s top knot off.

*sigh*. Well, this just happened. Make me feel better by telling me about your worst model breakages. #warhammer #paintingminiatures

@milnermaths We play as many one shots as we do campaign sessions, for sure.

I think its super interesting that the default format for #ActualPlay #AP has become the big long campaign, with claims that you'd need to watch at least 4 eps to "get into it" and the show to hit its stride Like, that's not how we all consume actual #TTRPGs ... is it?

@PrinceofBielTan @warhammer Congratulations! That’s tremendous news - Nick and Simon are great folk to work with :-)

Much is asked of those to whom much is given! ⚡👊🏽 I've got tremendous news to share with you all! I've joined the @Warhammer team as a Warhammer TV Presenter! Catch me very soon on Warhammer TV, I can't wait for you to see my first episode!

@DrNWillburger @romanarchaeouk The mosaics of Volubilis are stunning - I loved the ones in the House of Venus too.

For #MosaicMonday the House of Orpheus at Volubilis, the mosaic shows Orpheus playing the lyre, surrounded by wild animals. Volubilis is one of the largest archaeological sites in #Morocco and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. #RomanArchaeology

@eduardo_garcmol Congrats guys, 12 years here too.

12 years (not including Kaicer Wilhelm).

@nick_bayton You’re telling me you no longer look like this? Illusions shattered 😂

Nick from Ages Past: This popped up on my memories today- hosting an event in 2011! Please observe the Spikey hair, bead necklace and bracelets, unnecessary amount of event wristbands and skater jeans. I maintain I was one of the cook kids…

@electra_rhodes I’m so sorry to hear this El, my deepest sympathies for your loss xxx

Dear friends, my lovely Papa died this morning. Thank you for everything you've shared with him over the last few years. You made his heart sing. He'd want me to share his last words with you - and it was 'I love you, goodbye.'

Death: Alright, Owen? Papa: No more last words? Death: Not this time Papa: Go on, let me leave just one for people to find now and again? Death: fair enough, you've had time to think of it. Make it a good one Papa: Thanks. It's the best one I know... Pause Papa: Love

Pleased to announce (and not before time): The Library is Open! globallibrary.net On the Global Library site, you'll find information about the historical and modern faces of the project, along with templates for public events & inclusive delivery Please do share!

@mytholder Woop! Congratulations - that’s a big deal :-)

@JustinBengry Justin, I’m so sorry to hear this - what a terrible decision and an awful loss.

@DrJEBall I am here both for Pedro Pascal and for more about Roman North Africa!

Getting distracted from writing about #Roman North Africa by new photographs from Gladiator 2 - I never knew how much I needed Pedro Pascal to play a Roman soldier until it happened... (Photo: Vanity Fair)

@RADennyAuthor @DrJEBall Volubilis is beautiful! I had a similar experience visiting Algeria in 2020 though so feel for you!

@DrJEBall I was going to visit Volubilis in 2020, but my trip got canceled. I still hope to go someday!

@_THE_KRAKEN_ I have made sure to leave plenty of time for world domination this year tho

@andrewkenrick We have often finished. People surrender. I am not sure if you have enough time. You ruin so many games …

Since the dawn of THE KRAKEN in 2010 there was only one where there was no Axis & Allies. Here we are now with a Mobile Axis & Allies Table and detailed documentation. @andrewkenrick it will be ON at the Summer KRAKEN!
