Academic pals, if you were building a reading list on Ancient Medicine for a very capable undergraduate senior, what would you be sure to include? (Good with Ancient Greek/Latin, but no Modern languages other than English)

World-leading classicist gave female student unwanted ‘slobbery kiss’
An investigation into Simon Goldhill, 69, a professor of Greek at King’s College, Cambridge University, upheld complaints of professional and sexual misconduct

One of the world’s leading classicists could be dismissed from Cambridge after a university inquiry found he gave a female student an unwanted “slobbery kiss” and put his tongue in her ear.
University sources said that Simon Goldhill, 69, a professor of Greek literature and culture at King’s College, has “stepped away” from teaching and lecturing after the investigation upheld complaints of professional and sexual misconduct.
Cambridge is now considering what, if any, disciplinary action it will take against the professor, who is scheduled to retire at the end of the academic year. The university declined to explain its opaque disciplinary processes.

Catherine Steel and I are thrilled to announce the publication of our edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic': www.cambridge.org/core/books/w... @universitypress.cambridge.org #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBlueSky #BlueSkyClassics
Cover image for edited volume 'Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic'. Depicts detail of a gilt bronze statue of a Roman woman. Pergola, Italy. c. 70-30 BCE.Book description: In the Roman Republic, elite women were legally permitted to control substantial assets – and many demonstrably were in direct control of their wealth. They were also the mothers, wives and daughters of the politicians who built Rome's empire and, in a time of high mortality, could find themselves running households that did not contain adult men. This volume explores the political and social consequences of elite female wealth. It combines case studies of individual women, such as Licinia, wife of C. Gracchus, Mucia Tertia, Fulvia and Octavia Minor, with broader surveys of the institutional frameworks and social conventions that constrained and enabled women's wealth and its consequences. The book contributes to the recent upsurge of interest in re-evaluating the role of women in Republican Rome and will be invaluable for scholars and students alike.
