You can read a little more here https://t.co/MHhgRhnsYP Huge thanks to all the contributors and especially my co-editor George Woudhuysen. Thank you also @OUPAcademic. And none of this would have been possible without the funding of @ERC_Research.

Wat achtergrond van mijn onderzoek. Gisteren gaf ik een jeugdcollege over vervloekingen in #Heerlen. Dit komt voort uit mijn onderzoek naar de verspreiding van Latijn binnen het @LatinNowERC project
Daar deed ik onderzoek naar #meertaligheid in #Spanje en #Portugal in de Oudheid

[LatinNow @LatinNowERC]

C'était un grand plaisir de faire une présentation au Collège de France. « Le pouvoir du langage et les langages de pouvoir : la diffusion du langage dans le contexte de l’Empire romain et de la mondialisation ». Merci @Inrap de m'avoir invitée.

[LatinNow @LatinNowERC]

I can't get my head around this. Trees are awesome and this centuries-old one was particularly wonderful and meant a lot to so many.

[Northumbria Police @northumbriapol]

Officers have condemned the vandalism of an iconic #Northumberland tree and vowed to bring anyone responsible to justice.

A full investigation has been launched after the Sycamore Gap Tree was felled overnight in what police believe to be a deliberate act of vandalism. (1/3)

[LatinNow @LatinNowERC]

Does anyone know where RIB 1984 currently is? It's the Castlesteads altar dedicated to IOM&genius loci. We're hunting for a colour image for RIB Online. Thank you!
