Fabulous to see the Perse's very own Dr Alex Courtney presenting on his research! Do tune in!

Brilliant to have Dr. Alex Loktionov (OP) back to deliver a socially-distanced 42 on Apocalypticism in Graeco-Roman Egypt! Fascinating research, thankyou for coming, Alex!
We had a very successful, socially-distanced Open Day last Saturday! Here is the display board showcasing some of the things we do in years 7-9! #latinisallaroundus #itsallgreektome #ancienthistoryforthewin
One of the oldest pieces we have written by a woman is this Greek papyrus from about 1800 years ago. Aurelia Thaissous writes to the prefect of Egypt to apply for legal independence, so she can act, sell and buy things without a male guardian 1/2 #NationalWritingDay
Some fascinating developments in the world of archaeology! How archaeologists revealed an entire Roman city without any digging: cam.ac.uk/stories/roman-… cam.ac.uk/stories/roman-… via @Cambridge_Uni
Our Year 3s continue to use so many skills to create Medusa masks. This one in particular has been very successful at turning a couple of brothers to stone!
Looks like Perseus has already chopped off Medusa's head here!
A favourite Classical site from Mr Green to finish the week Priene, in modern day Turkey An ancient Greek city in Ionia, succinctly described in Mr Green's words: "Amazingly preserved, absolutely deserted."
A favourite Classics-related quote today from Miss Ruffle bella gerant alii; tu, felix Austria, nube! - Let others wage wars; you, happy Austria, marry! A hexameter referring to the way the Habsburg dynasty extended their dominions by marriage rather than conquest
Coffee, computers and Classics: the lockdown hasn't stopped the department's series of extension seminars for the Sixth Form. Plato's Apology was the topic of the day. A favourite Classical text for Mr Bennett
A favourite Classical person from Miss D'Asaro Virgil (70-19 BC) Author of the most famous Roman epic, the Aeneid, Virgil had an incredible insight into the human psyche and a most compassionate eye for human sufferings. No wonder that Dante picked him as his guide through Hell.
Today's Classical Favourite courtesy of Mr Morgan Favourite artefact - the Cyrus cylinder Often cited as a model for bills of human rights, there are so many ways of interpreting the purpose of this incredible relic! For more see here: youtube.com/watch?v=iokGgm…
To start the Classics' department's "Classical favourites", a favourite quote of Mr Foster's: si hortum in bibliotheca habes, deerit nihil. (Cicero) If you have a garden in your library, nothing is missing! Sounds like an excellent set up for lockdown!
While we're all unable to go out and see these amazing objects in person, Mary Beard is doing her best to bring them to us! blog.britishmuseum.org/mary-beards-to… via @britishmuseum
@ThePerseSchool flying the flag for today’s Perse #Pride 🌈
Progress update: landed on time and about to go through passport control. More updates with ETA will be on here
Progress update: we've checked in at Athens airport and will be boarding soon. Some sad faces at the prospect of leaving the Greek sun
The collection in the National Archaeological Museum was jaw dropping! Spot the funny-looking #hedgehog in the Mycenaean wall painting 🦔🔎
Last stop of the trip at the National Archaeological Museum!
