Join the Online Book Chat

Did you know that for most of the year forum co-host Irene Hahn hosts a Roman history online book chat? You can find out more about the general parameters of the chat in the Ancient/Classical History Forum.

The chat is held on the first and third Wednesdays (although I suppose in some areas of the world it may already be Thursday). Books are usually available at public libraries. Sometimes it's historical fiction and sometimes it's straightforward Roman history. Right now it's history as we return to reading T.J. Cornell's dense and often iconoclastic The Beginnings of Rome. The first chapter for Wednesday's chat is 11, which is on the 12 Tables and the Decemvirate.

Please join us. Remember to look for details here: Ancient/Classical History Forum.
