@wallcurator @OpenUniversity @CarlaBenzan I'll make sure I bring it next time I see you!

Dr Toga on tour! It was great to be at the launch of the @OpenUniversity's OpenARC research centre yesterday and to dress people like Dr @CarlaBenzan in my new toga! Anyone want a go?

[Dr Toga @dr_toga]

@lowwintersun @OpenUniversity @CarlaBenzan I agree!

[Dr Toga @dr_toga]

What a fabulous RAC/TRAC in London! Wonderful to see you all and hear all your news: archaeological and otherwise!

@TheFrameBlogMag @sistoryhistory @antmoose @WittsPat @p_historians @chapps Aw thanks, @sistoryhistory. I'm more a Romanist, though, where the colour of mourning was dark. I wonder whether @LloydLlewJ would know.

This one took a long time til publication, but good to have a copy at last. Greet stuff too from @e_jgraham @OU_Classics

Roman legions exhibition at @britishmuseum is great: is it pathetic that my favourite object was this little figurine of a mouse blowing a trumpet and covering his little ears because it's so loud?

Highly recommend all HE colleagues read this article, especially if you've also found yourself or your institution getting dragged into the culture wars side of content note usage, and need a fresh and very informative perspective on what their point really is
