Heckel's Who's Who, which you can downlo...

When you're working out your plan, by all means let me know if there is anything I can do to help, whether writing new material, updating existing, etc.

Certainly will, thank you. I'm playing about with some add-on modules to the board at the moment to enhance what options are available.

Ta, tah! You can now embed videos in a pothos post! There is a new icon to the right of the list of icons when creating your post.

The warm temperature is constant but feels different from a cold hand at midnight than to a warm/hot one in the afternoon. That sounds a reasonable explanation, and welcome!

You should see a new link along the top of the page - 'About pothos.org'. I've discovered a few toys I can play about with, so you may see some changes! We now have plenty of space on the new host, so I may upload some translations, photos. The main pages of the site really need updating as well, so...

This article mentions a silver-gilt button depicting Alexander, also found in Denmark. Not sure if this is the one you mean! https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/69970

System1988 found this item about a Roman-era shield button bearing an image of Alexander.

I keep hoping they will find a new mosaic, painting or statue of Alexander!

That is interesting, thank you, although I think it borders a little too closely on the notion of Hephaestion being Alexander's 'wife' or spouse, a notion which is far too modern, and judging by Ogden's comments in the chapter in A New History, he would agree with that. Their relationship must have ...

Thanks for the link, Jeanne, I'll add it to the resources page.

Yes, sorry, I recall that now.
