Andrew Wallace-Hadrill joins us to talk all about Pompeii’s oft-forgotten neighbour.
Lucius Vorenus has a setback in his new career when all his slaves die of the flux. After a brief crisis of identity he re-enlists in the 13th legion. Octavian helps Titus Pullo investigate his suspicions. Attia engages in some light public vandalism. Servilia engages in some light public cursing. Caesar chases Pompey out of Italy. We are also joined by special guest Parvez Qadir, who plays the role of Tanjit.
On this episode of the Peopling the Past Podcast, we catch up with Dr. Katherine Harrington, who currently holds a Visiting Teaching Faculty position at Florida State University and will begin a postdoctoral fellowship at the Research Centre for Anatolian Civilizations at Koç University in Istanbul next year. Join us as we talk about the role of women in the Athenian economy, textile production, and the ever-looming debate over Building Z in Athens (brothel? Tavern? House? Industry?)
In what is a rather unorthodox edition of The Daily Delphi, join myself and Dr Charlotte Goddard for an improvised chat on themes ranging from Renaissance Latin Literature to the toppling of the Edward Colston Statue…
