Fellows in Focus: Vassiliki Panoussi We caught up with Vassiliki Panoussi to learn more about her current work, the questions driving her research, and how her time in Rome is shaping the project.

In case anyone is interested in my work here at the American Academy in Rome...

At a glance, it looks like about 75% of my published work, everything from recent publications and a monograph to some obscure academic reviews from 25 years ago.

I might not even hate the "fair use" of this material, to be honest. But helping to line the pockets of Mark Zuckerberg??

HELL NO.

yup, my name is also there...

Torino bound! Super excited to share my work with the students and colleagues of the Università di Torino!

visited #CentraleMontemartini yesterday and was totally floored when I encountered this life-size #tropaeum. My article on the tropaeum in the #Aeneid will come out in a few months. Looking at it, I was more than ever convinced that these monuments marked the trauma of war as well as victory.

Incredible visit to #Palestrina. Sharing a lovely detail from the amazing #Nilemosaic; I'm obsessed with the two #obelisks outside the temple and the #Nilometer!

Classics peeps, please consider sending an abstract for the 2026 SCS Vergilian Society panel. Deadline is fast approaching!

have been reading Plutarch's de Iside et Osiride the last couple of weeks: today I had fun exploring images of the persea tree, sacred to Isis. Here's an image from the Papyrus of Ani, Book of the Dead

SS Quattro Coronati, St Sylvester chapel: 13th c. frescoes depicting St Sylvester curing Constantine from leprosy. Loved these frescoes so much.

Dear friends, please consider submitting an abstract for this summer's Symposium Cumanum, Vergil and the Greeks, at the Villa Vergiliana June 25-28, 2025!

so sick of getting bombarded with emails from companies that want me to give them my expertise for free... they would never dare ask a lawyer or a financial consultant without paying them. The same respect is not afforded to professors so I responded, 'show me the money.' #notworkingforfree

Please submit a proposal for the 2025 Symposium Cumanum! Information as to how to do this below. Please share and spread the word! You all need to spend 3-4 days in Italy, right?

so I've got to tell you that the best reader of an audiobook I have ever listened to is Dan Stevens reading Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. I mean I knew he was a terrific actor, but man, does he bring that book to life. Found out he has also done the Fitzgerald Odyssey. Wow.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! I know I don't post much on this platform (or any platform), but I am truly thankful for the opportunity to be in touch with colleagues and friends!

looks great! inspiring :)

anyone doing November #AcWriMo? I've started, but I would sure love some company! Today I'm reading an article and taking good notes, and incorporating into my paper.

My thoughts exactly. And also, how worse we are off because our institutions do not have U of Chicago's wealth.

Happy birthday!!!!

you feel my pain 😢

I'm already so overdue for it... but this is actually great advice. Thanks, Phil!
