What are Ancient Tokens? Could you solve a timeless mystery? Prizes up for grabs! UK-wide competition (ages 11-18). Find out more by listening to The Classics Podcast spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e… and check out the website warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/class… #numismatics @WarwickClassNet
ALT A competition poster showing three tokens, one with two men playing a board game and the number XIII, one with three female musicians and XI, and another showing a man swinging from a crane. The text reads: Just like today, the Romans used items we call tokens. Some of these tokens carry Latin numbers, normally ranging from one (I) to sixteen (XVI). But we don't know what these numbers were for! We are asking you what purpose you think these numbers might have served, with prizes awarded to the best submission!

NEW Did Greek Protogeometric pottery originate in Macedonia? Analysis of an early Protogeometric amphora from Eleon finds it was produced in central Macedonia, suggesting the iconic Iron Age style comes from this historically marginalised region.

Got to give two lovely workshops / seminars @ClassicsWarwick A.G. Leventis Ancient Worlds Day today for GCSE and A Level school kids. One on Sappho in Ovid and the other on Latin style and translation. Hugely enriching for me and, I hope, for them!
ALT Two sets of handouts. The first is entitled “University level Latin: How to Capture the original” and the second is called “Ovid Heroides 15: remembering love, remembering Sappho”.
