News picked up from RogueClassicism today.

First, an Alexandrian inscription ... hmmm.

Second, a ceramics workshop at Pella, which seems much less dodgy.

Thanks as always to RogueClassicism for the heads up!

Hi Marcus, I just read that the "inscription" story is an April Fool's joke. At FIA, Focus. So saith the professor! :wink:

Hello again, Also in that same Rogueclassicism page on March 28 is an article about the Persian Treasures to be found under the Black Sea. This is not a hoax however, and is an interesting article about treasure that Alexander is supposed to have buried in catacombs and caves. Supposedly first proposed by Strabo.
