[Welcome and Introduce Yourself Here]

Salve

 

I've only just discovered this site, which is pretty cool. I'm also a writer, currently working on a novel for children,

set mostly in Pompeii in AD 79. There seem to be a lot of other writers around.

 

When not at the laptop, or mentally treading the streets of 2000 years ago, I'm a microbiologist in England.

 

All the best

Hello,

and I'm female

[Sibyl of Cuma- how was she selected?]

Can anyone learned out there tell me how a new Sibyl of Cuma was chosen after the death of the previous one (not believing for a second that she lived to over a thousand years old...)?

 

Is there any truth in Graves' assertion that she lived with the mummified body of her predecessor?

 

Apologies if this is not the right forum for this question (have just arrived).
