Very pleased to hear one of my little bits in @wmarybeard's 'Being Roman' on @BBCRadio4 selected in this week's Pick of the Week - the curious afterlife of the tomb of the Roman boy poet Sulpicius Maximus. It was lots of fun to make. Six intriguing lives to listen to!

Had fun today recording with @wmarybeard for some @BBCRadio4 programmes on the Romans. Galen, Sulpicius the boy poet, and Turia. Broadcast in November.

Here's what William Byrd, and the participants at yesterday's excellent @stileantico 'Come and Sing' at @SMVOxford, think of the @BBC's appalling decision to disband the @BBCSingers. #WeAreTheBBCSingers #KeepSinging #SavetheBBCSingers

Great work on science and public engagement with heritage, from a UCL team including @StJohnsOx Dr Jenny Richards.
How do we evaluate the success of public engagement events? Join @seahaCDT on Wednesday 18 May to explore the impact, benefits and drawbacks of "mobile" science engagement. Register: https://t.co/Xl0qGQmxJB

A little piece I wrote for @Apollo_magazine on an exciting mosaic find in London. ‘The well-to-do Britons with a penchant for Roman panache’

The largest mosaic found in London in half a century offers a welcome glimpse into the home-decorating choices of aspirational Britons

Very pleased to find somewhere local to buy proper guanciale (Mama’s Way deli in Duke Street - all sorts of good things there). Thanks @EdibleReading for the tip-off.

Today at @StJohnsOx I have mostly been in meetings, but have just taken a few minutes out to meet an astronaut. Thanks to Michael Foale and @ISSET_STEM for a very interesting visit.

Very pleased that my reconstruction of the Roman legionary fort at Inchtuthil - originally made for a BBC documentary - has been useful for the Our Heritage Blairgowrie website:

Lovely video about the verse epitaph for a Roman dog, and what it tells us about the ancient 'Lettered World'. From @UniRdg_Classics and @petrifiedmuse. Will appeal to those who enjoyed #FLVirtualRome - you may spot bits of my digital Rome model in there.

Here's a short piece I wrote in @Apollo_magazine on the new floor in the Colosseum.

Installing a floor in the Colosseum will make the ruin less familiar – but may help us understand the original experience of the building
