Nothing new, but the page on the Choaspes river (modern Karkheh) has received a lovely new panorama, made by our Robert Vermaat.

Holy mackerel! That's almost like being there. (Jona: did you use a tripod? I'm usually on foot, so carrying a tripod for 25Â km is difficult; but if this is the result, I'm always willing to try.)
For my part, nuffin' strordinary, but plodding on:
Tenney Frank: Livy and Festus on the Tribus Pupinia. The article is cited in a footnote to Varro's de Re Rustica that I'm currently proofreading; I tend to put up the side-stuff before the main item.
More of Allen's Star Names: Hercules • Indus • Pavo

A spin-off of my earlier articles on the Great Flood: a little piece on Mount Ararat.
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Jona Lendering - 10-12-2007
A brief article on the ancient kingdom of Urartu (= pre-Achaemenid Armenia).
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Jona Lendering - 10-19-2007
This article on Armenia is not completely new. It is one of the oldest parts of my website, and was originally devoted to Armenia in the Achaemenid Age. It now also includes the wars between Rome and the Parthians/Sasanians.

A kind man from France sent me a photo of a Sasanian rock relief that I have not yet seen myself. Here it is.

Bill is currently especially busy with the American History section of his website, but here is a new source he made available: Suetonius' On rhetoricians. Don't expect anything from my website these weeks, as my computer is damaged; however, a LONG piece on Aigospotamoi is ready.
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Bill Thayer - 11-14-2007
It's been slow around here too; but Varro's de Re Rustica is now up, in crosslinked Latin and English. A slightly different edition of the Latin is already online elsewhere, but I think this is the first English online. Also a squib about the Carthaginian discovery and treatment of gorillas.

Coma Berenices is now also available in Bill's web edition of R.H. Allen's Star Names. It's of course related to the Laodicean War, Berenice's sacrifice, and Callimachus' most famous hymn - which appears to be not available online. You will find more about the story here, and can see a portrait of Berenice -before she visited the barber- below.
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Jona Lendering - 11-23-2007
For the first time in five weeks something new on my website: a very long article on the battle of Aigospotamoi.
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Jona Lendering - 11-23-2007
And a brief article on the Fossa Drusiana.
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Bill Thayer - 11-29-2007
Mostly to forestall Jona here; my "What's New" page today records that I've just put the Marcus Aurelius portion of the Historia Augusta online. That's true only in the sense that as it had stood until last week, neither the Latin nor the English were proofread, and half of the Loeb edition footnotes were missing — and I finally got around to repairing all that. Sometime soon, I'll make similar announcements for the last two or three small chunks of the Historia Augusta; but they won't really be new either. The entire Historia Augusta has been online on my site for a coupla years now; some small parts of it are still just in their pajamas, so to speak.

Hi Bill,
Thanks - much appreciated to be able to read all that stuff.
Re: New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org - Bill Thayer - 12-01-2007
More stuff; an item of ps-Sallust, confusingly titled "Letter to Caesar" — not the same thing as the "Speech to Caesar" I put up earlier that Jona reported on back in May; interesting mostly because the rhetoric student (far more likely than a real work by Sallust) offered as his grand piece of advice to Caesar that perennial panacea for the world's ills: socialist dictatorship.

Thanks, Bill. It'll go on the bibliog. for next year's late Republic course
