Senior Boys' Classics at Bolton School

A cohort of classicists staying late for our Classics film night. Getting excited about a cinema trip when Gladiator 2 is released. @BSGDClassics

Your periodic reminder that the incredible architecture and poetry and sophistication of ancient societies was pegged on a system of slavery. This will be a really important exhibition in Pompeii: it opens next week. I think [1/2] theguardian.com/science/2023/d…

@ClassicsNorth @officialnhaynes @World_Museum @classicsforall @LiverpoolCA1907 Very much enjoyed the talk this evening, thank you to all involved.

Very excited for our event tomorrow evening with @officialnhaynes @World_Museum #Liverpool as part of the wonderful exhibition #ReturnOfTheGods - the event has been brought to the museum by @classicsforall and @LiverpoolCA1907 and we can't wait !

We’ve had a great time together in Italy. Thank you lads and staff for being great company, showing intellectual curiosity and eagerness to learn @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch. All home now… next time Greece?

(2) if you do happen to run late for pick up at the airport then drop us a DM as we won’t have access to emails this morning. @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch

(1) Good Morning to all the parents back home following this trip via updates. Flight details attached as a reminder (we arrive into Terminal 3). @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch

it’s all quiet in the hotel as we’re trying to get a bit sleep before a very early start. The lads are looking forward to seeing their parents in the airport tomorrow: scheduled to land at 12:15 so see you all in Terminal 3 when we clear baggage claim. @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch

More ice cream shots. @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch

The lads have all been so good that the staff are treating them to a double scoop ice cream as a last night treat. @bsbdclassics @boltonsch

Mr L is desperately craving a cup of tea after a week of this!

Some more shots from Herculaneum.

What a view! Love this place. @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch

Miss M. finds an interesting subterranean space and cannot resist exploring…

Tired but still keen to explore. @BSBDClassics @BoltonSch

Waking up the mountain and hearing him roar…

Meeting family. Poignant reminder after seeing into the lives of those in Pompeii that family is the most important thing. @BSBDClassics @BSGDClassics @BoltonSch
