This Day in Ancient History: pridie nonas martias

pridie nonas martias

  • Festival of Mars (day 6)
  • 12 B.C. — Augustus becomes pontifex maximus
  • ca. 251 A.D. — martyrdom of Conon in Pamphylia

… and ten years ago at rogueclassicism, we were reading of possible sequels to the Passion and something called the Cleisthenes Project (a quick glance at google now suggests several projects of that moniker)

The 300 Workout Redux

Interesting that the Telegraph has a post about 300izing yourself (300: how to get a body like a Greek warrior)… it seems to have forgotten that the ‘prequel’ spawned a 300 Workout and a Spartan Diet … read the Telegraph article if you must (or if you just like the abs), and then reminisce about situps past at The Spartafication Continues
