The Department of Ancient Studies at Thorneloe University, Sudbury ON, was thriving until it was forced to shut down, June 2021. Thorneloe is not to be blamed!

There’s nothing quite like being caught in the act by a bull while you’re enjoying some time together in the field… 😅

This Etruscan love scene dates to c. 530 BCE!

This actually raises an interesting question I've had for a while:

Why is there a significant lack of shark imagery in the various Mediterranean cultures (from the Minoans through to the Romans)?
Why are there so many dolphins yet so few sharks?

Ok, I need to vent a little...
(and I mean no insult to any of the authors involved)

But why would you only publish part of a monument like this?

Welcome to SEPTEMber, the first month of the year named after a number. Three more will follow - OCTOber, NOVEMber and DECEMber. These were originally the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months of the year.

Well that’s just mean…

I know this may seem trivial to some, but it really feels like a vindication of sorts for me. An acceptance of my work and a tacit approval that I'm on the right track.

So, a special thanks to everyone who helped to make this possible.
