Pompeii Sites And a new three part series called ‘Pompeii: The New Dig’ airs on Monday 15th April at 9pm on BBC Two. It follows this excavation Pompeii Sites over the last year and at the heart of the programme is a wonderful
portrayal of the team working on site.

Just heard latest ep of Against the Lore Podcast podcast w/ shout-outs to best 'ancient' TV shows. I agree w/ Barney who chose the 2010-13 #SpartacusBloodAndSand . With extreme gore & explicit sex, I think it's probably the closest to the ancient mentality. The team pitch fun new ideas, too!

In Plato's Republic, Socrates predicts that the Just Man ἀνασχινδυλευθήσεται ('will be impaled/crucified'). Ancient Christians saw in this a prophecy of Christ's death. To round off his Easter trilogy, Mateusz Stróżyński explores the striking parallels: antigonejournal.com/2024/03/plato-…
