Excerpts from my newsletter:



The Times reports on what is the big news of the week: the discovery of
part of the Villa of Agrippina in Rome (this link worked this a.m., but I
suspect it might change; if it does not work, check through the index of
the September 18 edition of the Times):

Over the course of the week (when I couldn't get through, of course) Il
Messaggero reported on a number of items of archaeological interest; the
first is the discovery of a bathing complex near Horace's Villa:
