The email version just has the dates and events and I'll be regularly posting it (without all the notes at the end) to classics-l, ancien-l, and classics sa for feedback/criticism/additions etc.. If you want to follow up on some of the events (I'm writing features for most of them ... todays, e.g., is on Tullia and I suspect many of the profs out there who teach a 'women in the ancient world' course will find it useful, although I'm sure I've missed something) please consult the web version at http://www.atrium-media.com/thisday.html ================================================================ this day in ancient history ================================================================ ==nonas sextilias== rites in honour of Salus on the Quirinal Hill 244 B.C. -- Brundisium becomes a Latin colony ca. 79 B.C. -- birth of Tullia, daughter of Marcus Tullius Cicero (more on Tullia at the website; link below] ==metageitnion 5== Nothing (suggestions?) ==august 5, 2000== 1540 -- birth of Joseph Justus Scaliger ================================================================ Note: dates which are marked with a double asterisk (**) are those which I have found on various websites but have been unable to confirm in a scholarly source.
