End of Week One!

Salvete!
One week has already passed! Eheu!
A correction on the Legio XX post: after Legio XX's visit, we worked on paper-based province mosaics. After dinner, we worked on individual, tile-based mosaics. They are separate projects. Guess we should have heeded the words of Caesar and avoided writing about the matter within the matter itself :) (De Bello Gallico Book V, Chapter 33).
Today was a wonderful conclusion to the week, with some free time in the morning, Greek classes after lunch, and a viewing of the film A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Last night, Magister Cavedo entertained us with a reading of the start to his story, and we enjoyed hearing some more after the film. 
​A reminder: if you want to send us mail, addresses and mailing information can be found on page 4 of the student packet, found under "Materials". Thank you for all your support and for reading our blog!
