Roman history nerd, especially the late Republic. Currently working on an audio drama about the second triumvirate. Most of the time I'm a musician.

Famous passage from the Agamemnon where Aeschylus clearly inserts his own wartime experiences into the play.

The Baccantes, the priestesses of the cult of Dionysus, in the House of the Thiasus #Pompeii.

The kithara-player. This is the bigger and harder to master version of the lyre: for professional performance.

Very hype for @JLDraycott's book on Fulvia. Already enjoyed the hell out of the opening and discussions on lady poets of the Republic and Fulvia's family.
