Just out! The latest in my Tales from Virgil’s Aeneid: "Achates: Soul of a Hero". I have cheekily envisaged Aeneas’s sidekick “faithful Achates” as a Molossian hound. It will give readers a totally new perspective on Virgil’s masterpiece. Cover by @flaroh .

Saw Mystery Cult expert @hughbowden & archaeologists Louise Fowler & Sophie Jackson of @MOLArchaeology for a new installation by at the London #Mithraeum. Sophie said they need more archaeologists! Not all for digs in London, some in more rural areas.

The recently uncovered "huge Roman jigsaw that reveals a 2000 year old fresco in London" includes an image of mistletoe which was called birdlime and used like superglue to catch birds in ancient times. It might have had erotic associations!

Teachers! Parents! Kids! Check out this fun adventure puzzle game set on the last day of #Pompeii. It's not out yet, but you can see the demo here:

"Danger in Pompeii" a great adventure puzzle game for kids to relive the city’s final day & try to save family and friends. #FlaviaGemina & #Amarantus would approve. and so do I 👏#Pompeii.

So thrilled and grateful for this puff for 'Pantheon: an Illustrated Handbook to the Greek Gods and Goddesses' by the wonderful Professor Mary Beard. 🥰 And well-deserved praise for the talented Flora Kirk who illustrated it. 💙@wmarybeard @flaroh.

My playful retelling of Virgil’s Aeneid from the POV of Aeneas’s companion "faithful Achates" – imagined as a dog! – is aimed at teen and YA readers. But if you love myths & animals, you might enjoy it, too. #MythRetelling #TrojanWar #Odyssey #Argus #Epic.
