Tailored to the OCR Latin AS and A Level specifications from 2019–2021

Cicero composed his incendiary Philippics only a few months after Rome was rocked by the brutal assassination of Julius Caesar. In the tumultuous aftermath of Caesar’s death, Cicero and Mark Antony found themselves on opposing sides of an increasingly bitter and dangerous battle for control. Philippic 2 was a weapon in that war.

Conceived as Cicero’s response to a verbal attack from Antony in the Senate, Philippic 2 is a rhetorical firework that ranges from abusive references to Antony’s supposedly sordid sex life to a sustained critique of what Cicero saw as Antony’s tyrannical ambitions. Vituperatively brilliant and politically committed, it is both a carefully crafted literary artefact and an explosive example of crisis rhetoric. It ultimately led to Cicero’s own gruesome death.

This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, vocabulary aids, study questions, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard’s volume will be of particular interest to students of Latin studying for A-Level or on undergraduate courses. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Cicero, his oratory, the politics of late-republican Rome, and the transhistorical import of Cicero’s politics of verbal (and physical) violence.

Qui connaît Timothée de Milet, pourtant l’un des plus grands musiciens et poètes grecs de la fin du V^e siècle avant J.-C. et de la première moitié du IV^e ? Même la découverte, en Égypte, d’un important papyrus de ses Perses ne lui a pas rendu la place qu’il méritait.

Le présent livre n’en sera que plus utile. Réédités, traduits, commentés, tous les fragments de Timothée, dont un fragment musical, grâce à lui deviennent accessibles. Il offre également la synthèse la plus complète sur un...

Lemlat Enhancements

We are proud to announce the recent enhancement of the lexical basis of Lemlat with the Du Cange Glossary.

Lemlat is a morphological analyser and lemmatiser of Latin provided with a large lexical basis including:

- the collation of three Latin dictionaries (Georges and Georges, 1913-1918; Glare, 1982; Gradenwitz, 1904): 43,432 lemmas [including also relations between lemmas based on derivational morphology];

- Onomasticon by Forcellini (1940): 26,250 lemmas;

- Glossarium Mediae et Infimae Latinitatis by Du Cange (1883-1887): 82,556 lemmas.

Enlarging the lexical basis of Lemlat with the Du Cange Glossary significantly increases its coverage of a wide span of Latin texts from different eras.

Information about Lemlat can be found at www.lemlat3.eu.

The database and binaries of Lemlat are available at https://github.com/CIRCSE/LEMLAT3

Open Access Journal: Gorffennol: The Swansea University History and Classics Online Journal and Blog

[First posted in AWOL 21 July 2016, updated 2 September 2018 (new URLs)]

Gorffennol: The Swansea University History and Classics Online Journal and Blog

Gorffennol is the Welsh word for ‘past’, and is the name of the online student journal of the History Department at Swansea University. It is run by an editorial team consisting of nine students and one member of staff from the Department, producing a yearly journal as well as ad hoc blog posts.

The student-led online journal will be published annually, showcasing articles from postgraduate historians as well as outstanding student assignments from the medieval, early modern, and modern periods. This journal will not only display excellent post- and undergraduate work, but also help our students increase their employability by providing them with editorial experience.

Regular blog posts by students and staff will include short articles on historical topics, module-specific research, and posts showing students’ experiences of modules in our Department.

The editorial team are being guided by Dr Charlie Rozier as supporting lecturer and Amy Megson as Chief Editor.

The Non-Professional Archaeological Photographs project (NPAPH)

The Non-Professional Archaeological Photographs project (NPAPH)

The Non-Professional Archaeological Photographs project has the aim to preserve non-professional documentation of archaeological campaigns – prior to the 1980s – to the future and make it accessible to the public via digital archives. Furthermore, the project pleads for an international collaboration between archaeological institutions in order to connect these digital archives and bring them under the attention of the public by the use of this website.

The term ‘non-professional’ refers to records made by visitors or participants of excavations who were not part of the trained staff, but who assisted as part of their continuing education or out of interest, for instance students, volunteers, reporters or sponsors. Secondly, this category of documentation includes also the private photos, slides or films made at the excavation by the archaeological staff.
