Back from vacation; Research update

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve written a real post (that wasn’t an article snippet or a copy of a joke). My coauthor was in town for a week, so I wasn’t on here much.

We spent a lot of time at UNC’s Davis Library Epigraphy Room. What a wonderful resource! The Epigraphy Room has complete sets of two of the sources we rely on for inscriptions: L’Année épigraphique and Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL). There was also a copy of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World. We were like kids in a candy store. Great fun.

We also had some excellent disucssions on the role of the horses and equids within the scope of our research. I’ll write more about that as the research progresses.

    The Grey Wonder Mare™ is really doing well. The swelling has continued to go down. The cut is now about the size of my thumbnail. It looks great! She is still a little lame on it — means she probably has some tendon damage to get over. We’ll keep working on things now that the…
