It’s that time of year again—the latest 3D print exhibit from my Elementary Latin students just went up! Featuring a fully painted Fonseca Bust, a Temple of Vesta with a little flame inside, a Palmyrene funerary relief, and even a multicolored Caligula! #ClassicsTwitter

Wow, I can’t believe #IdentityInVergil is over. This conference exceeded my expeditions. Special thanks to my amazing co-organizer, @TWimperis! And thanks to all the panelists for your amazing talks! This wasn’t your doctor father’s Vergil conference and I loved it!

#IdentityinVergil conference off to an excellent start on day 3 with a thought provoking paper by @MixedClassicist on Fanon, Lucan and Vergil.

[@edithmayhall @edithmayhall]

Having a grand time online at conference ‘Identity in Vergil: Ancient Representations, Global Receptions’. I did conflicted working-class British responses to Aeneid; my brilliant PhD student @_HardeepDhindsa scintillated on the same panel on Renaissance Aeneids and ethnicity.
