Happy 1986th birthday to Gnaeus Julius Agricola, Roman politician and general, present at the Battle of Watling Street at which the Boudiccan revolt was defeated, later governor of Britannia who completed the Imperial conquest of much of the north of Britain in the 70s–80s. Born #onthisday in 40 CE.

I just passed a pre-school group of a dozen toddlers walking leashed together, who seemed to be chanting endlessly, "Samizdat! Samizdat! Samizdat!"
I mean, maybe they were all very much taken by "Sammy's dad"?
What else could they have been really chanting?
Looking forward to this seminar with @warburginstitute.bsky.social student Sarah Rohde, starting on Youtube in an hour.
