Great... Thanks. Warwick AH has at least 2 of our students this year - both inspired by your visits (and they are both fantastic too!)

I can see what he means! If so... one side spear/rod and a single hand and and the other 2 hands/ams holding a staff or pole with one either side ...swearing loyalty ? Did Roman legionary standards (single hand) have a hand on top? Very crude indeed! Cross one side, rod of office on other?

I was very impressed to see a copy of your book in the window of the Leeds Royal Armouries recently...its not even about Gladiators! An airport is next level...go you.

@ancient-tokens.bsky.social I'm thrilled that this student is coming to you in Warwick. Look after her for me! I'm sure you will remember the student podcast you did with her last year. It is always useful to have you visit. I absolutely know this student will be an asset to you all in every way.

The latest video in our attempt to turn the "Imperial Image" module into a musical. Did you know that the aureus of Octavian and Julius Caesar could be made out of a different kind of metal too?!
