Salvete! Today we reverted back to our regularly scheduled classes, convening in Fox Hall for our Latin lessons following breakfast. In the afternoon, we were introduced to the world of numismatics by our wonderful guest speaker, Dr. Liane Houghtalin, a renowned expert in coins of the ancient world. After a crash course in coin dating, we looked at Greek and Roman coins, from both before the Roman Empire and at its height. We were glad to have some time to ourselves during otium verum before we split up into various groups for working on set building, play rehearsals, or our dedicated Memoranda team. We concluded the day with a follow-up to our ceramic making session last week, in which we created our own Sculpey statues and carvings. Following a lecture on two types of ancient painting techniques by our mysterious mysterium colorum teacher, Magister Cavedo, we took part in using not-so-ancient products (acrylic paint from Target) to paint our designs. We were also given the opportunity to paint wooden boards, and some students even took to their skin to make unique art on their hands. It was an extremely enjoyable night with a lot of beautiful artwork to show for it and good vibes overall. Hoping your day was as good as ours, your aediles, Mercury and Ananya :D
