Tonight is our Tier4 Movie Night, and we voted to watch Gladiator!

Having fun searching through the #Gladiator20 hashtag from earlier this year in preparation...

We're excited for the new academic year.

If any Birkbeck students are interested in joining the Society let us know!

@_ACFox I love that the rear half looks like a horse. The layers of wrong.

One of my favourite mosaics.

The long-established @BirkbeckHCA MA Classical Civilisation/Classics can be taken part time or full time, with all classes in the evening. Many of our best students have a BA in a subject other than Classics and flourish on our programme. How's that for democratic?

I study early scholars of Greek warfare.

Most of them are obscure teachers and professors.

Only one is found in the letters of Mazzini, Bismarck, Garibaldi, Karl Marx and Abraham Lincoln.

That's right, Twitter. It's time to talk about Wilhelm Rüstow, born #OTD in 1821.

Listen to @CatharineEdwa talk about the power of women in Ancient Rome!

Very much looking forward to a day dedicated to #Despotiko, organised by Dr Christy Constantakopoulou!

Latin and Greek don’t have to be elitist, and whether they are or not does not depend on universities.

If you want Latin and Greek not to be elitist, teach them in schools that aren’t selective and don’t cost £40k a year.

@JohnJJohnston @hydeandgoseek @KCLGreekPlay @Glyptoteket No idea about next year yet, but sure to be good. A lot of us already have our KCL tickets!

[BirkbeckClassicsSociety @BBKClassicsSoc]

A lot of us caught The Frogs at UCL last week, and we wanted to pass on our congratulations to all cast and crew.

It was a brilliant production, and for a lot of us counted as exam revision😁

Can't wait for next year

That's one society event sorted for 2020 then! We all loved attending the Troy exhibition last month.

[British Museum @britishmuseum]

The Roman emperor Nero is the subject of one of our major exhibitions this year. The show will chart his rise and fall, using the latest research to question the long-held view of him as a ruthless tyrant.

Find out what’s on at the Museum in 2020 here: https://t.co/ect2bfOYTT
