- Balkan Travellers has more on the Nymphaeum found near Nicopolis ad Istrum
- artdaily.org covers the coins of the third century rebel emperor Carausius that were found in 2007 have been bought by the British Museum. Worth a look as it carries large images of the coins.
- The Stoa Consortium reports that GBRS is going free and online
- Rogueclassicism has a note on classical aps for the iPhone
- We knew that Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was a boor and a cad. He is also being accused of failure to declare the presence of 30 ancient tombs on his land. Story in the BBC.
