This is my blog for posting material of academic interest (to me). Expect to see stuff about Greek and Roman history, archaeology, Classical literature, the Ancient Near East, historical films, teaching, the reception of the Classics in science fiction, the abuse of history, science fiction criticism, Doctor Who, and occasionally other historical stuff, or just things that I'm interested in. Expect spoilers at all times.

I can see our house from up here!
Just watched the episode 'The Romans in Britain' from The History of Britain from the Air (on Channel 5). I was pleased to see that I recognized most of the sites before we were told what they were, and some of the aerial views made me slightly regret not putting a tape in to record the programme. But the commentary was pretty dire - traditional and full of what we now know to be false, or at least misleading.
