durham museum of archaeology to see and handle some of their roman inscribed objects and a post conference field trip to chesters roman fort to see its much larger collection of inscriptions from hadrian s wall and of course i took the chance to do some conference related epigraphic baking the language of this inscription oscan found in southern italy from around the 5th 1st centuries bce and fairly closely related to latin has featured in my cake series before but since the first paper of the conference was going to be on some newly discovered oscan inscriptions it seemed only appropriate to feature one of them in cake form plus this language was regularly written in two different alphabets its own oscan alphabet as seen on the previous cake and a slightly adapted form of the greek alphabet as seen in this new one continue reading epigraphic baking oscan redux author anna p judson posted on april 21 2026 categories academia ancient languages baking classics durham epigraphy

the new documents in mycenaean greek the new documents in mycenaean greek edited by john killen is the long awaited update to the foundational work of the study of the linear b tablets of mycenaean late bronze age greece michael ventris and john chadwick s documents in mycenaean greek this work was first published in 1956 just four years after ventris decipherment of the script and then updated for a second edition in 1973 hence why the latest update really a rewrite as shown by the title with contributions from a wide range of experts in the field of mycenology has been eagerly awaited for some time it will be a crucial reference work for anyone working on the linear b tablets it s certainly extremely useful for students on my own ma course in linear b and mycenaean greek but to find out more details about why as well as some caveats on the less successful aspects and tips on how to use it most productively as a student or researcher you can read my review in full on the bryn mawr

remember that during my time at the british school at athens i was experimenting with different methods of making clay tablets trying to find out why the makers of these tablets in the mycenaean palace of pylos would have chosen different ways of doing so and how this affected their use in writing administrative documents in the linear b script i m delighted that my article describing these experiments and my conclusions has now been published online in the annual of the british school at athens it s fully open access so free for everyone to read but if you want the short version you can also read a blog post i wrote for the cambridge university press blog about this below i ve also linked the video i made about how to make tablets which comes with english and greek versions of a worksheet to use at home or school if you want to try tablet making and writing yourself experimenting with tablet making worksheets available via the bsa website this project has received funding

greece pylos 5 comments on experimenting with making linear b tablets shadows in the cave or reflections in the museum i was delighted to find out recently that i d been shortlisted for my entry for the classical association s 2023 competition this competition takes different forms every year this year was photography and the brief was to take a photo that fitted into one of several themes relating to plato s philosophy the theme of shadows in the cave referring to the allegory used in the republic to describe human beings as like prisoners in a cave who can see only shadows cast on the wall and a philosopher as someone who is released from the cave to see the true reality outside made me think of the way the windows of the acropolis museum in athens reflect images of the parthenon temple on the acropolis opposite the museum something about the glass and the arrangement of the panes creates a repeated set of distorted images of the temple s columns continue reading shadows in

classical greek and latin language and also a lecture course on the history of writing a mixture of lectures on particular writing systems obviously including my research topic of linear b and thematic explorations of topics to do with writing across the ancient world like power religion or gender the lecture on graffiti was an opportunity to explore issues around this term in the modern world as well as the ancient we tend to think of graffiti as something illegal a form of vandalism and yet some people who draw on walls get elevated to the status of street artists banksy being the prime example in the uk and also a good example of the tension in the conception of street art banksys can sell for millions but every so often there s a case of one being removed as graffiti which promptly makes headlines continue reading classical street art in athens author anna p judson posted on april 18 2023 april 18 2023 categories academia classics classics and pop culture travel tags

housesteads roman fort one of the first things a classicist does after moving to durham is obviously to pay a visit to hadrian s wall the wall begun by the roman emperor hadrian in 122 ce to mark the northern frontier of the roman empire in britain whihc now runs across cumbria and northumberland housesteads is one of several forts along the wall that can be visited today in fact the best preserved of the forts with remains of the four gateways commander s house soldiers barracks the hospital granaries and the famous toilets of course in roman archaeology best preserved still generally means a series of low stone walls marking the outlines of the buildings right now though housesteads is looking a bit different and more colourful than usual housesteads granary and gatehouse continue

mycenae in the north east peloponnese is this tour of thebes in boeotia north west of athens myceanean te qa t h ēg w ai classical greek θῆβαι t h ēbai modern greek θήβα thiva this one is a bit different from the last two because unlike most other mycenaean palatial sites we know the citadel of thebes has been continuously occupied from the bronze age to the present day so the central area of the mycenaean site corresponds more or less exactly to the modern town centre evidently this makes excavation a challenge much of the work that s been done has been rescue excavations before construction work so relatively few of the excavated areas remain visible and because excavations have taken place in lots of separate mostly unconnected sites it s very hard to get a joined up picture of the mycenaean citadel as a whole below is a google map of locations mentioned in this post this interactive map the product of dr anastasia dakouri hild s digital thebes project is also handy for seeing where excavations have taken place even where the results are not visible you can choose various layers to show finds from different time periods including plans of buildings which may be associated with the mycenaean late helladic palace and findspots of palatial type objects such as linear b inscriptions frescoes and craft workshops continue reading a tour of mycenaean thebes
