Barry Cunliffe. I’ve read the top book (The Ancient Celts) and the bottom book (The Scythians). They are excellent.

My phone reminded me of this photo from a year ago where Chaucer tries to absorb Thucydides by fluffmosis.

3/4 🧵 For those who want a more in-depth biography, this work by Peter Brown is excellent. Professor Brown recently retired from Princeton. Of note is that he was raised in Northern Ireland as a Protestant.

Someone asked "day job" me to give a CLE (continuing legal education class) on Real Property Law without specifying my topic.

[cracks knuckles]

So if I give a CLE on "land title in the ancient world" then history books suddenly become a work related expense....? right? 🙃😂

Summer 1952 felt like freedom.
Barefoot days, quiet lakes, no fear.

But beyond that peace… the world was changing.
