Love ancient history? In my podcast I cover a range of topics from Greece and Rome. Whether you are someone new to the subject or a veteran there’s something for you. There’s even the odd pun.

The Lupercalia.
byAncient Blogger

The Lupercalia was literally run on on the 15th February in ancient Rome. Apart from the nudity, running and goathide thongs there’s a lot going on here. Indeed the Roman writers seem unsure of how it all started and in this episode I play detective in trying to work out how it started and what this tells us about Rome. 

I also talk about the festival itself and how it manifested as well as one famous instance involving the Lupercalia.

Episode notes at www.ancientblogger.com

Music by Brakhage (Le Vrai Instrumental).

Spent time with Year 5 from a school in Steyning last week to run a couple of classes on ancient Greece.

It seemed to go ok, lots of interaction. Also fab to support the teachers. It's voluntary so I'm certainly value for money 😄

Just a wee reminder of how awesome the surviving ditches of the Roman fort at Ardoch are. And also a reminder of what we’ve got coming up in a few weeks. https://twitter.com/JGBS/status/1639929142803062785

Earlier in the week I was out filming with James Shaw for the BBC. Here’s a little taster from one of the Roman sites we recorded at. https://twitter.com/jgbs/status/1639929142803062785
