Ancient #Greeks and #Romans got a surprising number of things right about the spread of disease

#Vitruvius describes how a lack of airflow can be a problem in enclosed spaces & how prolonged exposure to hot, stagnant air can cause disease

Thank you @bromleyClassics Our students @NHS_Sixth_Form found it very informative and enjoyable!

[Norwich High Classics @ClassSocMed]

A really interesting read!

[Sarah @Sarah404BC]

A study by the University of Toronto, shows that the Ancient #Greek language can help cure [?] dyslexia, because it activates many parts of the brain, compared to other languages.

Well done to Tamara, Daisy, Cordelia, Hannah & Olivia on their entries for the East Anglia Classics Group Essay competition. Tamara came in 🥇st place, out of 15 entries, with her essay tilted “Donald Trump would never have made it as a Roman emperor.”

👏👏

[Norwich High Classics @ClassSocMed]

Thank you @bromleyClassics for inviting our students @NHS_Sixth_Form to your @oxfordclassics event. Great feedback this end; we enjoyed Henry’s talk and sharing interesting ideas with our @GDST peers.

[Norwich High Classics @ClassSocMed]

We’re so impressed by the girls’ creative-thinking over the past few weeks and by how confident they are to speak about what they have read! Good work, everyone! 🇮��� 🇬🇷 🏺

The Roman emperor Hadrian and his lover Antinous are depicted in these marble busts, made in the second century AD.

Find out more about their relationship in our audio commentary: https://t.co/IfPEHhISz8

Hadrian was born #OnThisDay in AD 76.

Look forward to hearing more @DrArleneHH

[Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson MBE @ProfArleneHH]

My research into #Classics and #employability is continuing. I had a great meeting this morning with @oxfordcareers in which we discussed internships, graduate destinations, recruiter priorities, workshops and @oxfordclassics alumni stories. Part of wider project to gather data.

[Norwich High Classics @ClassSocMed]

Great first session with U3 @NorwichHigh yesterday sharing ideas about the Greek gods and their roles. Looking forward to designing our own gods next week.

[Norwich High School for Girls @NorwichHigh]

Members of this term's virtual Junior Classical Society will shortly be receiving some very exciting packs! Girls will be creating their own Greek God, making masks on a Greek Drama theme, designing Olympic crowns and debating what Herakles’ 13th labour might have been!
