Just a quick note here to say that I've joined flickr. I was inspired to create a group called "Spolia," which does just what it says on the tin. Thus far it's mostly my own photos from Central and South Italy, but I'd welcome contributions from far and wide.
Spoliation is much easier these days. Texts, images and other such fragments can be embedded in new creations with a few clicks of the mouse; you don't even have to wait for the original to crumble into pieces.
Quintus Ennius tria corda habere sese dicebat, quod loqui Graece et Osce et Latine sciret.
"Quintus Ennius said that he had three hearts, because he spoke Greek and Oscan and Latin."

Italic Matters in Chicago
Has it been a year already? The recent construction of the Ancient World Bloggers Group in a day has spurred (or rather goaded, in this pre-spur age) me into thinking about a return to blogging. With the annual joint meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America and the American Philological Association coming up January 3-6, 2008, and in the interests of taking it slow and minimizing the risk of injury, I'm starting out with some simple synthesis, a list of papers that may be of interest to the student of pre-Roman and Roman Italy, arranged chronologically by session, the AIA and the APA commingled in a model of harmonious coexistence. Before jumping into the list, I'll note in passing that the AIA/APA Annual Meeting Scheduling Tool is now online.
