Here's too a speedy recovery as I am dying to knowing if the sign Vorenus eldest daughter made behind her back is the equivilent of our crossing our fingers :)
I do appreciate all the lovely Rome drama! ::grin:: I actually did have chicken mushroom soup while I was sick, but I didn't die!
Leah: Sorry to disappoint, but I was baffled at that too! As I told my friend, I don't actually study Roman hand signals. She thought I should get a refund for my education!
Aine Bina: In a word? Bullshit. Possibly more words later.
Glaukôpis has finally, after five years, graduated with BAs in Classics, English, and history. She will be heading off to England shortly to begin grad school in Classics. The blog will continue chronicling her academic endeavours as well as whatever interesting Classical tidbits she notes along the way. Glaukôpis' parents hope that she does not pick up a British accent in her year abroad. Glaukôpis herself thinks this would be quite amusing.
"Without Latin you should just stay in bed!" - Fr. Reginald Foster, Chief Latinist of the Vatican
"But I have never gone away from them. How can an educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science." - Albert Einstein
"I would beg Leave to ask whether any People in any Age or Country ever defended and preserved their Liberty from the Encroachment of Power without suffering present Inconveniences. The Roman People suffered themselves to be defeated by their Enemies, rather than submit to the Tyranny of the Nobles" – John Dickinson, 1768
"Befriend the scroll, the palette. It pleases more than wine. Writing for him who knows it is better than all other professions. It pleases more than bread and beer, more than clothing and ointment. It is worth more than an inheritance in Egypt, than a tomb in the west." - "Papyrus Lansing," Nebmare-nakht

Maybe when you're feeling better you can comment on this line from the upcoming 300 movie preview: "The first human fight for freedom."
Thanks all!
