kurtedwr Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Here's a facebook group dedicated to the Late Antiquity: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=info&a...;gid=8525325207 I just discovered it a few minutes ago, but I really hope for more members.

Ursus Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 As Facebook wasn't exactly meant for prolonged, meaningful dialogue among strangers, I wouldn't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can research questions be asked on the Facebook page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion-Macro Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I don't have a Facebook. I don't really like speaking to people online who might be half a world away at that particular moment. I find it creepy. ~I do like the idea of Roman history spreading though. I think it is good to put history places on sites like that where many do not know about such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if there's a lot of people in that Facebook group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how keeping a journal was viewed in 450 CE, or if this was something even done, but maybe expressed differently. Would a Roman in this time express aspects of daily life in a "Codex" or just on papyrus or parchment? Also, I've noticed that I'm a servi and a Tiro. Are these terms related to slavery? In Saylor's book ROMAN BLOOD, he has a slave who is Cicero's legal assistant named Tiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
