Salvete! Today we had our penultimate round of Greek classes and after lunch, enjoyed a guest lecture by Dr. John Miller from UVA. Then we had our final Greek Drill and set up our province stalls for Mercatus Traiani. Then after a dinner in Roman garb, we finally got to enjoy the market and buy and sell province products from each other-entirely in Latin! We don't have pictures of the event yet, but here's a list of what each province sold. Ask your students on closing day what province they were part of and how they made their products. Britannia: Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, and Rings Germania: Amber and Runesticks Ephesus: Oil Lamps and Good-Luck Charms Gallia: Torcs, Flower Crowns, Magic Spells Athens: Owl amulets Roma: Bullas Alexandria: Scarab Charms, Papyrus Hispania: Inscriptions Carthage: Clay Pots, Purple Scarves, Paper Elephants During the marketplace, Douglas from Gallia also sold calligraphy writings of our names and Graham from Athens sold tarot card readings done completely in Latin! Some students also made special announcements for special deals or auctions. It was a very engaging, immersive, and fun-filled event. The expression depicted on Mitch's pot from Monday's Greek vase-painting says it all. Thanks for supporting us through everything. We'll see you soon!
