Visually this was very interesting, although a bit misleading in places. For example, Bettany was walking through one of the large rooms off the central courtyard at Aigai, but gave the impression that it was the courtyard itself, which could house 4,000 people. There was also a large drainage chann...

There is a programme tonight (Channel 5 9 pm) where Professor Alice Roberts talks to Brent Searles about this work.

Apparently tonight's episode (7 pm Channel 4) features the "birthplace of Alexander the Great" Aigai, to see artifacts that are being restored. Should be worth seeing.

The latest episode of Bettany Hughes' 'Treasure of the World' concentrated on Bulgaria ie the Thracians, and it was most interesting. I confess I have tended to regard the Thracians in the same way the Greeks seem to have regarded them - as barbarians - meaning with the modern connotation of uncivil...

I haven't seen it, but it seems to have provoked quite a bit of Alexander interest as there is quite a bit of activity over on AO3 (Archive of Our Own fan fiction). It is the 20th anniversary of Stone's movie later this year and I was hoping to do something in the forum to mark it. Yes, there is a s...
