Day IV - Meeting the President of Randolph-Macon

After morning classes, we met at Brock Commons for a special treat: Crustula cum Consule (Cookies with the Consul). Each member of the Academy was able to meet the president of Randolph-Macon, receiving cookies and a t-shirt in the process. Afterwards, we began the visual and material culture activity, which involved breaking into our provinces to create miniature clay sculptures. We attempted to emulate the art styles of our provinces as we made our "marble" sculptures that will be sold later during our Roman forum exercise.
         Throughout our time at the Academy, we have been grouped into provinces that are competing in the Province Cup competition. Tonight was round one of a series of challenges; tonight's challenge involved pop culture. Germania managed to outscore all other provinces, scoring five points, with the provinces of Gallia, Alexandria, and Ephesus trailing with four, Athens and Britannia with three, Carthage with two, Roma with one, and lastly Hispania with a total score of zero points. 
       Today, we continued to progress our Latin language and culture skills but we are ready to tackle our second day of Greek tomorrow.
