I see your museum bum and raise you one of Ἀφροδίτη Καλλίπυγος (‘Aphrodite of the Beautiful Buttocks’) now at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples (MANN). This statue is also mentioned in Ulysses’ Laestrygonians episode (Book 8), namely when Bloom wonders if statues have anuses.

As they mention in the press release, these gardens are a big deal and connect directly back to Philo of Alexandria’s notation that Caligula spoke to the Jewish diplomatic delegation from Alexandria in these gardens. www.digitalaugustanrome.org/records/vati...

My example for why people should really understand classical reception before using it for branding is that Starbuck’s used to have CD 💿 racks in stores with albums called “Siren Songs.” Not sure you want to imply you are luring customers to a watery grave—but just my opinion.

Our second child was born on Bastille Day last year. I had planned on letting people eat cake and putting up some French Revolution flags, but the whole “resist the monarchy” and “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" vibe is now less fun and more … a reminder to resist autocracy? Sigh. 🇫🇷

Yes, I am quite aware. This reading is for my slavery in antiquity class, which I have been teaching since 2011 (=13 years + many publications). Still doesn't make it any less abhorrent.

Anyways, it is really important to reconstruct the impact of writing on the body in antiquity & today. There are some great scholars working on disability like Moss, Debby Sneed, @meghanhenning.bsky.social, @isaacsoon.bsky.social, Christian Laes, @jldraycott.bsky.social & many more! Check them out.

But for the impact of Roman scribal practices on the largely enslaved body, See @candidamoss.bsky.social in the forthcoming:, ‘Disability’, in J. Coogan, J.

There is a lot of current and forthcoming amazing work on disability attached to ancient scribal practices. A new open access article looks at the spinal impact on Egyptian scribes. www.nature.com/articles/s41... turns out criss-cross applesauce writing is very bad for the spine, joints, & even jaw
