Wonderful time had by our Year 9s and 10s in Carleion and Bath this weekend. We even had time to hone our Roman military skills and bump into an ITV film set! @ColfesSchool @Colfespartners

On this day - October 4 - the Romans celebrated something quite unusual for their religious calendar - the ieiunium Cereris (Fast of Ceres). Ceres is a goddess of agriculture (hence cereal) and of the regenerative power of nature. Organised fasts were very rare in ancient Rome.

. @ae_stallings is spot on about the multiple possible readings of Aeschylus' "Persians" in this week's TLS. The question of sympathy vs schadenfreude depends on modern vs ancient & Athenian vs non-Athenian audiences. Doubt much sorrow among spectators in 472 BC!

An excellent introduction for our A level students!

The Aeneid was written around 2000 years ago - around 700 years after the Iliad and Odyssey! - and immediately became a Roman classic. I want to unpack the first 33 lines - its proem - which introduces the work to the reader. 1/10

A useful insight into the Invention of the Barbarian paper. A level Classicists - check it out!

The myth of Thermopylai and the Greek resistance is built on some... strange ideas about the Persians and their armies.
Don't worry though, @reeshistory and I are here to clear some stuff up.

Excited to be welcoming/welcoming back all our classicists tomorrow!
Something for our Year 13s to get them thinking!

2,499 years ago, approximately #OTD, a more interesting battle took place off the coast of Thermopylai - the naval battle of Artemision. Unlike Thermopylai, this one actually mattered.
It is not a well-known battle, so why not follow @Roelkonijn and I for yet another thread 1/18

Excited to hear that an ex-pupil from @COLFESclassics @ColfesSchool after school partner schools' Latin classes has gained a place to study #Classics @Cambridge_Uni. So proud your classical journey started with us.
