Thank you, I certainly will! I'm trying to think who would be good to ask.

Thank you, those are interesting snippets in themselves!

Thank you! Yes, I've seen it on flags and I think on neon signs. It's very interesting where this kind of mirror writing turns up - I'd love to know if there's wider Roman evidence.

Is writing in reverse on one side of galley a thing? I feel I need to know this...

Nice object!

Probably leaflet unless I was referring to them en masse as junk mail or similar.

This is a psychological question not a dialectological one?

Small votive dedication to Hades showing a man in a chariot and, sorry, a chicken. With greek inscription.

I'm sorry, but for budget reasons, your chariot to the afterlife is scheduled to be pulled by a chicken.

Oops sorry!! 😳

I don't think I can resist wearing it to the Faculty at some point! 🐍🐍🐍

P S. It is quite painful to wear because it has nobbly bits on the inside of the band but it makes for a good photo

Peak Halloween Classicist accessory!

(Thank you Poundland 😱)

Needless to say, his whole family made fun of him ceaselessly.

One of my great uncles had been a Scouser until he moved to Scotland and adopted the accent! Kilmarnock area.

@dannybate.bsky.social look what just came through the door! It's a good companion for Ben's alphabet colouring book 😊

Thank you! ☺️

(Today I can start using the title Professor! The promotion was two years ago, but I had to wait for the university's reform of titles in research posts.)

Eating mummy's new business cards.

A live streamed conference on ancient epigraphy in the classroom, next Monday - I think lots of people will find this interesting.

Very interesting sign reversals going on in Ben's dark side alphabet. He's discovering something about symmetry 😊

It reminds me of the baby jail ones in the hospital, which we thought was hilarious when Ben had his stripey clothes on.

I've just cut the bottom off with my address but you get the misspelling anyway 🙂 It's the university standard, but I thought the spacing could be improved.

So interested in the general aesthetic of my new business card template that I nearly missed that my name was misspelt. Glad I caught that one before printing!

And the poster just because I'm quite pleased with it 😁

Just noticed that one of the inscriptions from the sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Hymettos reads "BEN" - I've been interested in these inscriptions for about the last ten years, so it's nice to find my two-year-old son's name on one 🥰

(I'm also finally writing about them!)
