Thanks. I did find a more recent paper on Domitia Longina (2002), which also mentions only the boy. Jona Lendering's website identifies this child as Titus Flavius btw, but I was under the impression that his name had not survived?

Sounds very promising. I hope we hear more of this in the future.

Cleopatra Aelia wrote:This is a detail of the Ara Pacis which you can see in a recently opened new museum. When I was in Rome for the first time six years ago it was closed so I was delighted to see it this time.

The artistry on this relief is quite simply astounding. Thanks for sharing.

In any case, check your PMs Cleopatra

Salve, Cleopatra Aelia,

Be sure to take plenty of pictures I'm always interested to see new photographs of Roman ruins, artifacts, or inscriptions. Hope you enjoy your trip.

Btw, I finished my Wikipedia article on Nerva yesterday. Feel free to check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerva

Salvete omnes,

As the title indicates, I'm looking for an online translation of Pliny's Panegyricus. Only Latin texts seem to be available currently.

Good to hear the operation went well. I'm sure there is a Latin expression appropriate for this occassion but I'm not familiar with it, so English will have to suffice

So, best of wishes and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

No information on costumes as far as I can tell but still an essential read:

Bingham, Sandra J. (1998). The praetorian guard in the political and social life of Julio-Claudian Rome. Ottawa: National Library of Canada.

Most capable: Augustus. Quite simply one of the most brilliant and influential politicians in the history of the western world.

My favourite: Probably Tiberius. The man is a complete tragedy, and never ceases to fascinate me.

Most entertaining: Heliogabalus, without a doubt.

Ah! Thank you very much Piscinus.
