Also, here’s a shout out to Alex Zudor’s Roman mystery series (Vox Populi, Male Parte, etc). The titles are a Latin phrase but the books are in English. They are the perfect airplane read: good story line, not too tense, smart references (which is to say, makes the reader feel smart w/shared familiarity of cultural allusions), and relatively short. Better than the in-flight movies; I jump started my trip to Asia by reading three of them on the airplane!

In 2010, there was a very important find at an old #IronAgeshrine in England. It included coins and other items from both the Iron Age and the #Romanera. Among the discoveries was a remarkable 2,000-year old Roman #cavalryhelmet. Having been re-examined some 10 years after is first discovery, some believe that the helmet throws an interesting new light on the nature of early relations between Britons and Rome and the development of Roman auxiliary forces.
