This is the blog of the Department of Classics & Ancient History at the University of Bristol, a place where our staff and research students can post updates on their research activities, report on recent events in the department and muse on any classics-related things that take their fancy. There’s no theme or agenda: the only two things that hold this enterprise together are, firstly, that none of us has time to maintain our own blog on a regular basis, whereas having a collective one means that there should normally be something new to read on here at least once a week, and, secondly, that we do all work together, and so have a certain number of interests in common – and if not, then we do at least have a shared commitment to informed and critical debate about the classical world and its continuing influence.
You can find the official departmental webpage, with links to proper information about our research and teaching, here.
