Another classical round up

Blogging is going to be intermittent over the next few weeks:

• Finally a story about the new Acropolis Museum which doesn't involve yelling at the British Museum. The Greek orthodox church is getting snotty over a film which depicts early Christians ruining the monument. Reuters has the story. 
• A couple of new stories about this season's dig at Kalefeld, the third century battlefield found on the "wrong" side of the Rhine last year. Good piece at Hna.de with a NIB at NDR.
• A review of Yann de Bohec's L'armée romaine dans la tourmente at Novopress Québec.  
• A fair amount of chatter about the Roman hospital at Hradisko, Morava, aka Burgstall. Radio Praha and Ceske Noviny. I remember a mass grave found on the same site a decade or so ago. Can't find the reference.
• A light piece in the Herald on saving Hadrian's Wall. 
• A weighty article on Varus and Florus in Zeit Online while NZZ Online looks at barbarians and forests.
• National Geographic has caught up on the mass burial on Ridgeway Hill in Dorset. 
• Good tourist piece in the Telegraph on Sutton Hoo.

Remember the days when the churches wrote heroic verse about the spoiling of monuments? Sigh.
