RUN DONT WALK TO THE BOOKSTORE‼️I'm jokinggg and just making this post to share. Unless you are an intermediate level Latin student or you have always wanted to read the satyricon and don't know where to start, you can just admire and be proud of me :))
this was really a dream of mine and I don't take it for granted that my professor, co-author of the commentary, trusted me with this project. I'm away from my usual spots atm, so the main thing that makes this occasion less perfect is that I can't show you the physical book right now. My professor clocked me for making the Roman soldier into Encolpius (she just asked what we should name him)😆these are the stunning adornments you can enjoy while learning about neronian literature, if you choose to buy the book. Ahhh i was dreading pulling these up again because I knew Julius caesar would make me cringe a little bit but it's getting published AND still better than the cambridge latin illustrations so I think I can sleep tonight💋
