Our newest results from the project. Using 3d models we found that changes to the Forum Romanum by Caesar and Augustus reduced the visibility of speakers. At the same time they separated hypothetical crowds of two simultaneous events @ncn.gov.pl www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

In Roman politics, ancestral masks — imagines maiorum — were more than symbols: they were visual proof of noble lineage and civic virtue. But what happened when politicians had no aristocratic ancestors to parade?

A new Roman marching camp discovered in the NL, beyond the borders of the Empire. The site was identified using LiDAR and aerial photography. This was followed by a surface survey with metal detectors and trial excavations, which helped date it to the 2nd century CE. www.uu.nl/en/news/roma...

Roman army camp found beyond Roman Empire’s northern frontier

“What makes this find so remarkable is that the camp lies beyond the frontier of the Roman Empire,” says Saskia Stevens. That border was some 25 kilometres south.

Conservative Panic or Quality Control? In 92 BC, the censors Lucius Licinius Crassus and Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus banned the operation of schools teaching rhetoric in Latin. Why?

It took me a while, but finally I had the time to go through the volume "Senses, Cognition, and Ritual Experience in the Roman World" edited by @drblankam.bsky.social and Abigail Graham. It's a must-read for anyone interested in archaeology/history of senses, especially in antiquity.
