Classics teacher, GIS aficionado, walker of Duc, researches urbanization and latinization in Roman Spain, Portugal and Tunisia
Teaching classics means taking pupils to Rome and having them experience the eternal city.
We took the train from Culemborg to Rome, the Odyssey was nothing compared to our adventures... Once in Rome we had four amazing days. Roma, Vatican city and a bike ride. Looking forward to the next trip!

Ok I already delved too deep into Classics teaching on my first day... Seeing "Verg." in my work calendar I assumed a special class on Vergil. It was an abbreviation for "Vergadering" (๐ณ๐ฑ for meeting)

Last week was a bit hectic. I was in Rio the Janeiro to present & teach a #QGIS course at URRJ as part of a collaboration with @uni-hamburg.de. In addition I was interviewed by a Dutch radio station on my research. For those understanding Dutch / brave enough to try:

They are indeed shaped this way as they were used to on softer materials and also ink. The LatinNow team published an #OpenAccess book on the topic:

If you're interested to know more about it.
A magic scratch card with a Dutch text written in Old Roman Cursive it reads: Ik ben mijn beste dolk verloren. Sulis vervloek de dief met buikpijn en diar(r)ee. It has a drawing of a dagger on the top right
Last minute preparations for my #lecture at the Roman Youth University #Thermenmuseum #Heerlen this Sunday. I will be giving a 'Curse like a Roman' #Workshop. We will learn to read & write Old Roman Cursive.
I wrote a 'Roman' curse (in Dutch) based on the #LatinNow materials!

The ATLAS project, where I am a #postdoc, has 3 seats and 4 core members! Casa de Velรกzquez in #Madrid ๐ช๐ธ, La Rochelle Universitรฉ ๐ซ๐ท and my #workplace at @uni-hamburg.de ๐ฉ๐ช
It is an amazing opportunity to work in such an #international project!

The Sunday walks were amazing with beautiful, impressive autumn skies. A lovely walk along the Lek river at #Culemborg.
Listening was not mandatory, according to Duc. And zoomies were in place with the branch found along the path.
Last Friday I presented my #research within the ๐ช๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช TOLETUM #Workshop: Espacios para el diรกlogo with the La colonizaciรณn como diรกlogo? With historical #GIS approach of sequence mapping, we can discuss the influence of Republican diplomatic activities on the reorganization of the settlement system.

A ditch partially covered with lemna and a dog on the other side in the reeds trying to find a way back
A minor mistake was made today... In an attempt to scare the ducks, Duc ran into the lush green pasture formed by lemna. Blissfully unaware of the fact it covers a ditch he jumped onto the lemna. Important side note: he hates swimming.
Now back at home with the nice smell of wet dog and ditch water.
