Part of the summer haul from @universitypress.cambridge.org - I hope this great book by @opietasanimi.com will also help me finish my talk on Cicero's own poetry!

Academies of Sciences play a key role in sustaining high-quality, mission-driven publishing. Their role is discussed in a panel discussion with Piret Lukkanen (Estonian Academy Publishers) and Herwig Stöger (Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, @oeaw.bsky.social) chaired by @ivovolt.bsky.social.

I wish I had a large wall map of Ancient Greece, with place names written in Ancient Greek. There has to be one available!
