“I’m not partial to the idea that any country or government is exceptional, and I believe that we all have the potential to feel at home anywhere and in any society, as all places and peoples have inherent value. As the philosopher Bertrand Russell said: "No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and none was ever so wicked as each believes the other.”“

Viggo Mortensen in a GQ interview by Gabriella Paiella (01/02/2021)

What was it like to be a child in the Roman Empire?

In researching a new children’s novel set in Ancient Roman times, a University of Melbourne archaeologist found herself hunting answers to u

Pursuit

What would a school day be like in 313 CE? What games would children play? What would a 10-year old girl wear? What medicine would a child be given for a cough?

For 40 years, I had researched the archaeology of late antiquity –the later Roman Empire from the third century onwards, to the transition to the early middle ages and Byzantine eras.

But I was being asked a completely different set of questions - and I had no idea yet of the answers.

The same thing happened when Airbnb started as “you got a spare room? why not rent it out to a visitor for a few nights? you get some extra cash and they get a nice place to stay while they visit the city” and it immediately turned into “I’m gonna buy up every available unit in this condo building downtown and rent them out short term, contributing to massive rent increases, severe housing shortages, loud inconsiderate assholes treating places where people are supposed to live like cheap no-restriction hotels, and then bitch and moan when Airbnb gets banned from my building before just continuing on anyway”
