The Newsbot still has troubles catching up what's on our blog, which is a pity because it used to work and, ahem, the blog was meant to make the Newsfeet run automatically. Anyhow, here's a summary of what's new.
The Bosphorus (a small part of some 30 pages on Constantinople that are now almost finished; history, photos); the Notitia Urbis Constantinopolitanae, Latin text of a fifth-century description of guess what, and a review of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum.
Choara (where Darius III was killed); the naval battle of Artemisium; the battle of Chaeronea; the battle of Cynoscephalae; Halicarnassus; Harran and a quick note on the battle of Carrhae; the legendary city/hill of Nysa; the Altar of the Philaeni; the ruins of Segesta.
The Nubian Pharaohs, an article that already provoked a lot of nonsensical mail to my address - afrocentrism has an unpleasant side.
Daniel 11 and the Syrian Wars: an article that speaks for itself.
A review of the Museums on the Teutoburg Forest Musea (i.e., Kalkriese and Haltern), a review of three books on Achaemenid History, and 500 ancient sites on Google Earth (in Dutch, but place names are recognizable).
A LOT of texts by Plutarch:
* On keeping well
* On superstition
* On having many friends
* On virtue and vice
* On Fortune
* Advice to Bride and Groom
* Consolation to his Wife
* On listening to lectures
* Can virtue be taught?
* The education of children
PLUS:
* Suetonius' On Grammarians
* Suetonius' On Rhetoricians
* Ps.-Cicero's Rhetorica ad Herennium
And finally an article on The Image of Moloch. I left out some small stuff, for which you can check our blog.
