Visit to Rome

by Ceffyl Aedui on October 20th, 2006 at 22:35
Posted In: Epona.net

Well not for me (I wish!), but for my coauthor. This week he is in Rome for an EpiDoc conference. With any luck, he will return with photos of some of the find spots of some of the artifacts in our list. If he’s lucky, maybe he will even have time to visit the museum […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Feast of Epona in June?

by Ceffyl Aedui on February 13th, 2007 at 01:24
Posted In: Epona.net

I was answering an email about Epona and a feast date on June 13th. This date seems a litle strange to me. I’ve heard of it before, but haven’t found any real supporting evidence. Many of the sites where this date is listed state that it is the “Celtic” feast of Epona (as opposed to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Store from ancient Pompeii reopens

by Ceffyl Aedui on March 27th, 2007 at 14:27
Posted In: Epona.net

Now here is an heirloom seed seeker’s daydream: an herbal shop has reopened in Pompeii. Their stock includes seeds and plants that might have been offered at the herbal shop in the same location two thousand years ago. The new store, a product of a collaboration between biologists, botanists, archaeologists, and others, is discussed in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

ChaCha Search Engine

by Ceffyl Aedui on August 6th, 2007 at 00:31
Posted In: Epona.net

I just tried seaching for Epona using a new search engine, ChaCha. Interspersed with the results were sponsored ads posing as search results. That really ticked me off. If I want to see ads, then put them on the side, but do not confuse the frickin’ ads in with the actual search results. I do […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Roman Cavalry Bibliography

by Ceffyl Aedui on August 12th, 2007 at 14:22
Posted In: Archaeology, Epona.net, Horses

I was going through some of my old emails and found a bibliography I had compiled for a friend on the Roman Cavalry. I attended a Roman re-enactment in October 2004 in Nashville. A Deepeeka representative had a reconstructed Roman cavalry saddle (Deepeeka item code AH6405). This really peeked my interest. Picture I took at […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Additional Roman Saddle Info

by Ceffyl Aedui on August 13th, 2007 at 12:06
Posted In: Epona.net, Horses

I emailed Deepeeka about their saddle. They are incredibly cheap (for a saddle, at least) — under $200 US. However, you have to order at least two. So very tempted! My coauthor suggested doing more research and sent me some good links to consider. I could end up with an expensive display piece. (Although I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Book on Belgic Gaul and Aquitania

by Ceffyl Aedui on September 1st, 2007 at 23:52
Posted In: Epona.net

On a mailing list I’m on, one of the members posted a notice about the following book. It looks pretty interesting. Not too terribly expensive. I’m going to see if I can get the book through interlibrary loan. I am very interested in seeing the discussions on temple design. From the Oxbow Web site (UK […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Arabians and Numidians

by Ceffyl Aedui on October 5th, 2007 at 09:45
Posted In: Epona.net, Horses

Arabian horse owners often talk about the Arabian horse as being one of the oldest breeds. And they are, thanks in large park to the work of the Bedouin tribes preserving this lovely breed and recording the pedigrees. What if we turned the clock back two thousand years? Would someone like Caesar or Hannibal recognize […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
