A long shot, but do I have any followers with a lot of knowledge about ancient Greece, and/or Roman empire (~200BC-200AD)?
Am trying to find some info on Archeological finds, and well, Google search is essentially useless now, so I'm hoping the amazing power of the fediverse can help.
In A.D. 79, a man who died in Mount Vesuvius' eruption near Pompeii had a rare transformation: His brain seemingly turned into glass. Scientists haven’t agreed on the reason, but a team of researchers offers this explanation: The pyroclastic flows must have been immediately preceded by a superheated cloud of ash that first rapidly heated and then rapidly cooled the man's brain as it dissipated. Scary thought. @LiveScience has more:
Archaeologists find site of epic clash between Spartacus and Roman army
“Archaeologists have uncovered a stone wall in an Italian forest that was used by the Roman army during an epic “clash” against slave revolt leader and gladiator Spartacus and his men.”

Au moment de terminer #LesMandarins de Simone de #Beauvoir, je le range dans mon panthéon des œuvres majeures sans hésitation.
Il a les dimensions multiples des grands #romans : un contexte (#historique, l'immédiate sortie de la #guerre et le début de la #guerreFroide) et des personnages qui gardent toute leur force aujourd'hui. Le propos est tant politique que sur les relations amoureuses et familiales, et il est servi par un sens de la formule admirable.
