I am thinking about buying a Kindle e-book-reader because I am looking for a way to read image-PDFs from Archive.org and Google-Books (plus several other sources), and I want to read them comfortably (i.e. without having to sit in front of a computer) and without the health hazard associated with too much staring at a computer monitor. I am wondering, however, whether Kindle is really up to the task of handling image-PDFs (= PDFs ...

Do we have any decent ones?

In the first sentence τοῦ καπετὰν Μιχάλη, "συνηθίζω"(get used to) appears in the form "συνηθοῦσε". By the context, the regular form seems to be impf. 3rd, sg., "συνήθιζε".

I am currently reading Bötticher's Historiae antiquae epitome and am constantly encountering references to places in ancient Greece etc. Therefore I am looking for hi-res maps of ancient Greece (and Asia Minor during that time) and the ancient Roman world.

I am looking to contact anyone belonging to the Ontario Classical Association. The OCA is the only official advocate for students, teachers and professors of Classics in the province of Ontario.

If anyone is a member or has contact information, can you please post it?
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm an English teacher, director of a small English school in Zaragoza. My daughter is probably going to the Humanities branch of the Spanish baccalaureat next year so she'll be starting Latin and Greek. I thought it would be a good idea to get some knowledge of both languages before starting and that it would give me an excuse to learn with her. I did Latin at school 42 years ago and got to ...

Is anyone else bothered by that "Support" tab on the left side of your screen? Is the problem just on my computer or FireFox? The tab covers the first few letters of every word so I have to keep scrolling up and down to see the letters beneath it. It's frustrating.

If it could be moved over to the right side, that would at least be far less obstructive.

Salvete omnes,

I performed a forum search, but I did not find anything. I was wondering if we could get a list of good documentaries, or simply your favorite one, on the ancient world. I am always looking for something for my classes. I will start it off. I think Roman City is one of the best I have seen. Granted, I use this for a classroom, so my goals are a little different.

There are magazines for every conceivable hobby but does there exist one for people learning Latin in particular and studying the ancient Roman culture in general?
