What a fantastic afternoon with Dr Naomi Scott from
@BristolUni @RoyalHighBath giving two fascinating, informative and entertaining talks on both Greek Theatre and Epic to an audience of almost 150 students. Food for thought and food for the soul!

We are really excited to welcome Dr Naomi Scott from @BristolUni on Thursday, who will deliver two free workshops on #Greek and #Roman #Epic and Greek #Theatre to a full audience of Classics and Drama students from @RoyalHighBath and six local schools

A brilliant 'Boudica in Latin' workshop led by Year 9 @RoyalHighBath with Year 3 from @RoyalHighPrep showing superb teamwork, bravery and enthusiasm - euge!

Love that a Year 13 student from @RoyalHighBath excitedly sent me this article as soon as they saw it!

This DNA analysis is fascinating! We can find out so much more than we could about Pompeii, even a few years ago. And yes, always good to find out that someone whose posture appeared ‘maternal’ (in the eyes of previous generations of archaeologists) was actually male…

Even the Romans couldn't win 'em all first time...

We are utterly delighted with our IB students @RoyalHighBath who both achieved the top grade of Level 7s in their SL #ClassicalLanguages #Latin and Jess even achieved full marks in Paper 2 on #Vergil Book 2 - no mean feat!

Souvenir shopping and gelato experience in Sorrento and now we're en route to the airport. "Say Plinyyyy!" What a fantastic bunch of students to take away an adventure this #ActivitiesWeek @RoyalHighBath

Children exposed to video game violence? That's nothing, say Pompeii archeologists as they reveal kids' drawings they say show children as young as five were being taken to watch gladiators being slaughtered 'and few saw a problem'

There are no other painted faces in #Pompeii that I find more chilling than the recently discovered one of the hooded boy whose large asymmetrical eyes possess a haunted gaze. An incredible artwork possibly of a deceased child.
In the House of the Painters at Work. #FrescoFriday

Catch up with Caecilius (and his mosaic dog) from the Cambridge Latin Course and Dr Who, join him on Being Roman at 9.00 Tues on @BBCRadio4 & Sounds. He's more fascinating than you think. Plus @Robert___Harris talks about how to talk about Romans & @pompei79 & @DrMCNicholls

Our final night in the sensational #HotelStabia, serenaded, presented with a cake and a fun final quiz on Italy and the Roman world. tempus fugit!

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

Pompeii is always breathtaking, but to see the new excavations in Regio 9 actually brought tears to the eyes! (No photos allowed, but plenty of memories made)

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

Vesuvio!

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

The Dream Team!

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

Sunset on the roof top of Stabia Hotel - fantastico!

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

Hot but heavenly Herculaneum and more fantastic food this evening after some well-earned rest

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

Wow! Wonderful Vesuvius and now the most delicioso pizza before Herculaneum!

[Royal High School Bath Classics @ClassicsRHSB]

Just before a delicious three course Italian meal with views over the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius. What a way to finish our first day!
