I just had an email from Gabe Moss at the Ancient World Mapping Center at UNC Chapel Hill alerting me to "the release of Livy Study Maps: Book 22, the latest addition to the Maps for Texts series."

More here: https://awmc.unc.edu/2025/03/20/livy-study-maps-book-22/

"... this set of twenty-three maps is designed for students and teachers working with Livy’s text, and offers detailed coverage of famous episodes such as the Battles of Lake Trasimene and Cannae, as well as of lesser-known campaigns from Book 22 of the History of Rome. The maps are available as free digital downloads under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license."

Watching a recorded Treadwells bookshop talk about the Mithras cult in London. And remembering the fairly recent find of an altar to Mithras at Inveresk in Scotland. Many pics viewable in free to read supplementary material for the paywall-locked journal article. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/britannia/article/abs/mithras-in-scotland-a-mithraeum-at-inveresk-east-lothian/544B6233F7F06415EE049C60A827C3C0#supplementary-materials #Mithras #RomanBritain #AncientRome #Scotland #EastLothian #Inveresk #Archaeology

Contrary to what you see on TV shows and in films, there is no historical evidence of Ancient Romans using the Hitler salute.
The closest thing is this classic statue of Augustus pointing at something with his elbow bent and his fist mostly closed.

El epitafio romano Laudatio Turiae con el eulogio de un esposo a su mujer. Por el extenso elogio a sus virtudes y por los detalles que comparte, tradicionalmente se ha identificado con Curia (60-5 a.C.), esposa de Quinto Lucrecio Vespilón, con quien estuvo casada cuatro décadas. Salvó a su esposo durante el Segundo Triunvirato ocultándolo de todos. #antiguaroma #ancientrome
