Cena Romana (Roman Banquet) in early February
Latinists in the news: Reginald Foster probably is, as the reporter notes, the most
famous Latinist in the world. I was
fortunate enough to be in his summer class in Rome twenty-something years
ago. A nice story about him: Mike Lowe Reports What a character. (I love characters. Most of my favorite Latin teachers have been
characters.)
The University of
Kentucky made a half-hour program about Terence Tunberg’s
conversational Latin workshops (which have become an indispensable part of my
summers): Conventiculum
Latinum
Classical civilization in the news: Move over, Tiger
Woods: Highest
Paid Athlete Hailed From Ancient Rome
