Princeps Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) I'm not the type of person who feels innappropriate grief whenever I hear about the death of some random celebrity or other, but I was a bit gutted this morning when I found some bad news (to me at least). I had taken it upon myself to seek out another Roman history expert to answer our questions (not on behalf of, or with permission from, the board admin. Merely testing the waters etc), when I found this article on the death of Keith Hopkins, respected Professor of Roman history at Cambridge university. It seems he died a couple of years ago, aged 69. I'm gutted, despite the fact that it happened a while ago. He was, without doubt, my favourite historian (as mentioned in the "Your favourite historian" thread a few months back) http://education.guardian.co.uk/obituary/s...1180272,00.html Very sad news to me EDIT - Another article giving a more personal insight into his life and career- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...7/ixportal.html Edited December 8, 2005 by Trajen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
