Much more interested in what @bbcstever.bsky.social and Anthony Zurcher had to say about what Trump and Putin said than what they actually said. Two top journalists at work. #AlaskaSummit

Amazing! Sounds like the Trimontium Museum has come on a long way from 2004, when I was last there. Will have to visit!

I opened Friday's PFT Live by addressing something not about football. The feedback was surprisingly positive. I wrote something about that issue tonight. If you're interested, here it is. If you're not, don't read it. Either way, have a good evening. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

Fancy a slipcase, signed first edition of Rome, plus a genuine Roman coin? There will be 50. There will also be 50 slipcases without the coin, and another 200 special edition hardbacks. THEY ARE GOING SUPER FAST! Check out the post on my author page on Facebook: facebook.com/benkanebooks

Today’s Russian papers predict “a reconfiguration of the whole system of international relations”, highlight a “deep crisis in the Western camp” & suggest European leaders are “dreaming” if they think Russia will agree to their plan for a partial truce in Ukraine. #ReadingRussia

Late Roman silver siliquae found in Norfolk, part of the Colkirk hoard. One of these (or similar) will be with each slipcase edition of Rome, my upcoming novel in May. I particularly like these, as Honorius, depicted on many, was emperor & half-brother to Galla Placidia, the book's main character.
