New Mailing List: PUNIC-UK
making the rounds … this one’s from the Classicists list:
Dear Colleagues,
We write to call attention to a mailing list designed to share information of interest to those interested in Phoenician and Punic Studies, especially but of course not only in the UK. This initiative is a collaboration between graduate students, post-docs and postholders at Leicester, Glasgow and Oxford, under the aegis of the Oxford Centre for Phoenician and Punic Studies (http://punic.classics.ox.ac.uk).
The list is based at:
www.jiscmail.ac.uk/PUNIC-UKFollowing this link will take you to the mail-list’s homepage, and you can join the list by clicking on the ‘Subscribe or Unsubscribe’ option and following the simple instructions.
Anyone may post to the list, by sending a message to: PUNIC-UK AT JISCMAIL.AC.UK
All posts are checked by a moderator, so you can be assured that you will not receive ‘spam’.
The list does not support attachments.
… interesting that the ‘list’ is still alive and well enough that folks start new ones …

- The Fascinating World of Ancient Papyri– Part Three (on the scribes, professional and otherwise)
- The Fascinating World of Ancient Papyri— Part Four (on the process)

Aims and Scope
The Journal of Ancient History aims to provide a forum for scholarship
covering all aspects of ancient history and culture from the Archaic
Period to Late Antiquity (roughly the ninth century BCE through the sixth
century CE). The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles concerning the
history and historiography (ancient and modern) of the ancient
Mediterranean world and of neighboring civilizations in their relations
with it. The journal is open to submissions in disciplines closely related
to ancient history, including epigraphy, numismatics, religion and law.
