1) Forget civil wars and assassinations, the greatest crisis of the Republic came as Pompey consecrated his grandiose theatre in 52 BC but couldn't decide how best to describe himself in its dedicatory inscription. As consul 'for the third time' should he write TERTIVM or TERTIO?

Now seems like a good time to re-up my essay on How Your History Gets Made (acoup.blog/2020/07/09/col…) as a reminder that public funding of universities is what makes technical, scholarly research in history possible, which in turn makes public-facing history work possible.

To understand #Venice is to learn her history. CITY OF FORTUNE by @crowley_roger is one of our favorite books to learn how and why Venice came into being. What book has taught you the most about the history of Venice?

Alright, it's up: acoup.blog/2024/04/05/col… I haven't had a chance to proofread it though, so probably a ton of typos. Thanks to @DrMichaelJTayl1 for letting me use some of his maps of the Battle of Magnesia.
