Between 2018-2021 I worked with archaeologist Dr Sophie Hay, Ancient Historian Prof. Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, Director of the Cambridge Schools Classics Project (who make the CLC Latin course!) Caroline Bristow and her gorgeous team, and legendary historical children’s fiction author Caroline Lawrence, to illustrate a novel and ancient history course about the life of Pompeiian freedman Amarantus and his neighbours in Insula 1.9

The story is a year in the life of Amarantus, following the events he experiences, including the devastating earthquake of 63BCE and his manumission (by a certain local natural-history-loving magistrate), the traditions of a Roman life, and the likely inhabitants of the rest of his block, based on the buildings and finds in Insula 1.9.

It acts as an Ancient History/Classical Civilisation (non-language) prequel to the Latin Caecilius stories (CLC Book 1) and there are some Caecilius-themed visual easter eggs 😁

The course has been designed for even non-specialists to be able to pick up and teach, entirely for free, to help bring Ancient History/Classics into schools.

We made the images in grayscale so they could be cheaply printed and reproduced in PoD books/PDFs for schools, but made some images in full colour for the website and book cover to show the diversity of the Pompeiian world. They’re all based on archaeological evidence and research and each one took hours of discussion and argument (and occasional paper models) to get right. (And I’m proud to say my rebuilding of some ruined structures like the Herculaneum Gate has been approved by other Pompeii experts, like the Cooleys 😁)

The entire book and course is massively researched and based on archaeological findings, and is FREE on the CSCP website: https://CambridgeAmarantus.com/home

Or you can buy the book PoD via these links: https://www.cambridgescp.com/array/buy-book

Bonus Roman Chickens (the precursors to my Roman History Chickens series!): the cockfighters Odysseus and Polyphemus! (And yes cockfighting is terrible and I’m glad we don’t have it any more)

Learning a dead language is really an experience. Like does any other textbook, than a dead language textbook include useful words like slave-dealer or Syrian ship? And does any other textbook include a story of a man walking around the harbor hoping to buy slaves, not liking any, until a slave girl (for which you learn a new specific word) and now I quote "delights the banker" which leads to the banker buying her? The story than proceeds to have a funny little ending when every man in the household is happy about the purchase except for the mother.

Se fôramos médico e acaso nos surgisse consultório adentro um freguês nas últimas, queixoso de gelidez d’alma, anquilose do entusiasmo, indiferença em grau nirvânico, ceticismo marca FFF, receitar-lhe-íamos, incontinênti, o único remédio próprio para salvar semelhante desgraçado: uma visita ao Horto Florestal de Rio Claro. E daríamos a cabeça a cortar se o infeliz não regressasse enfolhado de esperanças como um plátano de setembro, ou apendoado de flores como as roseiras de outubro.

Porque o Horto não se limita a ser um remédio de efeito aleatório: é um tópico, um porrete, melhor que o mercúrio para a sífilis ou a aspirina para as nevralgias.

— Mas que Horto maravilhoso é esse? — perguntará o leitor. Ah, o Horto é uma coisa séria! É uma coisa que só vendo. É uma dessas lições de eficiências que só julgamos possíveis em terras como os Estados Unidos e a Alemanha. É uma prova, com os noves fora, de convencimento absoluto.

Round 2 Poll 6

Sic transit gloria mundi

"Thus passes the glory of the world," glory fades

It was used in papal coronations for centuries. It was to remind the pope of the transitory nature of life and earthly honours

It's the title of the first published poem by Emily Dickinson and Yellowjackets' first season finale

Carpe noctem

Means "seize the night," make the most of the night

It's a recent phrase, a pun on the more usual "carpe diem"

It's also the title of an episode of the series Angel

Caecilius est in horto

Means "Caecilius is in the garden"

if anyone has read the cambridge latin course textbooks you know that caecilius is SEMPER in horto. it’s iconic. multiple adult people i know when talking abt latin will instinctively go ‘caecilius est in horto’. it’s a classic (baddum tish).

i miss you cambridge latin course. i miss drawing hearts around quintus and clemens in my textbook. why create an image of a life so tragically beautiful and trap it in my gcse latin book. the way the whole class got excited when there was a story about our faves. the way we gasped at the end of book one. i was meant to learn the structure of a roman road and instead i learned how much compassion i can hold for people i could never know

Flashback to that time I wrote Cambridge Latin Course fanfic (no I’m not ashamed)

I’m too British 😂
