Three clay female figurines, all from the third century BCE but with different points of origin: Alexandria, Corinth, Tanagra. A good bit of color remains. My photo. Dresden, Zwinger Museum, Skulptursammlung.

I have a lot of column pics (and other Rome stuff). Here's one. The pic I DON'T have, because digital photography did not exist in 93, is when I got to go up the interior staircase to the top of the column, for which our leader at the AAR at that time, Jim Anderson of UGA, managed to get a permesso.

My brother and I watched The Fantastic Four, which was better than I expected.

The Romisch-Germanisch in Cologne is closed for repairs but some items are on display elsewhere & include the amazing glass cup from the 4th c. crowned with a Greek text “drink, live beautifully (kallos) forever.” (Not my translation; sorry, I haven’t figured out how to type Greek on my phone yet)

My wife planted a fig tree, inspired by Micah 4:4. It's gotten enormous. Figs must be picked ripe and birds have always gotten them. Well, NOT THIS YEAR! I'm using netting & they are ripening. Looking forward to a full basket (the origin of fiscal: fig in Latin is ficus and fiscus a basket of figs).

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

It's a recent fashion. I doubt, pace Yglesias, that it was state directed. And by the way, it's a good aperitivo. I make them at home.

Highet, however, must not have been the first owner since written on the flyleaf is a name, Katrina Van Hook, with a location, Morrow House. Curious, I searched online. Morrow House is a dormitory at Smith College and Katrina Van Hook (later Katrina V. H. Taylor), once a young Smith student.

2 - After Gilbert Highet died, his son donated his books to Columbia and so several of Highet's books came into my possession and I still have some. One that I glanced at recently was a school text of Xenophon's Anabasis. Here it is with Highet's bookplate.

1 - A curious note for classicists: short thread. A long time ago, in my graduate days at Columbia, I had a job in Butler library managing the sell-off of books that included rejected donations. Thanks to this I acquired quite a number of volumes for myself since I had first choice, including this:

For Easter weekend: in 1999, excavations beneath the Gothic/Renaissance Duomo in Siena revealed frescoes of the life of Christ from the 13th c. lost for centuries. A few recent photos:

So for no particular reason (except maybe I'm leaving for Italy in a week and was thinking about this), from 10 meters underground beneath the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Positano on the bay of Naples: a Roman villa.
