You can read a little more here latinnow.eu/2023/12/05/latin… Huge thanks to all the contributors and especially my co-editor George Woudhuysen. Thank you also @OUPAcademic. And none of this would have been possible without the funding of @ERC_Research.
The third and final book of the trilogy will be out in a year or so: Latinization, Local Languages and Literacies in the Roman West. To explore some of the data we use, please see the beta version of our webGIS: gis.latinnow.eu/.

Wat achtergrond van mijn onderzoek. Gisteren gaf ik een jeugdcollege over vervloekingen in #Heerlen. Dit komt voort uit mijn onderzoek naar de verspreiding van Latijn binnen het @LatinNowERC project
Daar deed ik onderzoek naar #meertaligheid in #Spanje en #Portugal in de Oudheid
U denkt misschien 'Vloeken als een Romein? Voor een groepje 8 tot 12 jarigen?'
Ik leer ze niet vloeken maar wel over vervloekingen, godsdienst en schrijven in de Romeinse tijd. Dat aan de hand van Romeinse vloektabletten uit Bath (🇬🇧) dat Aquae Sulis (water van Sulis) heette.
ALT Opstelling voor een lezing. Centraal een scherm met een boze Romein en de titel van de presentatie: Vloeken als een Romein. Aan weerszijden zien we blauwe banners. De linker heeft een kaart van west Europa waarop de verschillende talen in de preromeinse periode in het westen laat zien. De rechter banner heeft diezelfde kaart waar een groot deel rood gekleurd is, dit is de regio waar Latijn xe dominante taal is geworden na een paar eeuwen Romeinse overheersing
I can't get my head around this. Trees are awesome and this centuries-old one was particularly wonderful and meant a lot to so many.
Officers have condemned the vandalism of an iconic #Northumberland tree and vowed to bring anyone responsible to justice.
A full investigation has been launched after the Sycamore Gap Tree was felled overnight in what police believe to be a deliberate act of vandalism. (1/3)

Does anyone know where RIB 1984 currently is? It's the Castlesteads altar dedicated to IOM&genius loci. We're hunting for a colour image for RIB Online. Thank you!
