Secretary of the Roman Society

Today is Dr Helen Cockle's last day as Roman Secretary. We wish her well in her new part-time post as Reviews Editor for the Classical Association, a few doors down from her old office.

We also welcome Dr Fiona Haarer as the new Roman Secretary.

New electronic resource on Pompeii

A fantastic new resource for those researching Pompeii is now available at the Library.

'The World of Pompeii' edited by John J. Dobbins & Peter W. Foss contains essays on Pompeii, all by renowned Classicists and also contains a CD-ROM of very detailed maps of the sites at Pompeii and Herculaneum. These maps have been added to our computers - please ask one of our staff for advice on how to use this very useful program.
