Yeah, that's my fault - happens this time of year. There's no games yet and it's a week before my classes start, so I'm cramming - er, I mean researching... er... anyway, I've got all this on my brain and people seem to find it fun.

Interestingly the Nero palace site is still in the Roman forum complex. Cant remember if it was built over but likely as the Western Roman Empire lasted another 400 odd years.

Nero attempted to put out the fire and was said to have housed and feed the fire victims, but was still a useless kent of an Emperor last of the Julio-Claudians.

And yes Domition was a tyrant.

Anyone interested in the history of Rome, go and listen to The History of Rome by Mike Duncan. Only a 160 episode podcast.
Be warned, it ends in tears.

It was always a chance. Even when he was drafted the plan was to try and see if he could get through without surgery even though the expectation when he was drafted was that he would require surgery and would not be available for most of this season.

"We knew when selecting Jack that his injury would likely require surgery, but we wanted to see him complete a block of rehab training to know for certain that it was the best option."

Does this mean we can recruit a replacement player under the new supplemental selection rule?

Out for the season. They probably did this in purpose so to recruit a replacement player.
Why have him on the long term injury list ponly to find out in round 18 that he should not play until next year.

No stress. And vice-versa the reason for shortcuts! Free lectures?

The closest option I'd suggest is Audible, which has lots of good history books as audiobooks, as well as sometimes lectures or conferences. John Julius Norwich (as i mentioned before) has a few books on there. Geoff Hindley has his Crusades book.

The other free option is Librivox: that has some great primary docs from various periods (including a few by yours truly) .The Paul Adams version of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities on Librivox is utterly remarkable (though a little out of the time period you're after).

Nup, just lecturing, no post-doc stuff (ugh...). I SHOULD be looking to get my thesis published (one of the examiners said he'd help), but I can't fit it in right now. I had to update one of my main textbooks for a subject of mine, so have been busy with that over summer. Plus I'm teaching Patristics in semester 2, and I haven't done it for about 5 years, so I'm going to be reading up on that.

Can Norwich pinch hit in the ruck?

The whole 666 vs 616 is an interesting scholarly debate. The Biblical book of Revelation was written by John to a politically oppressed minority. As such, the highly symbolic tropes in the book are partly there as code, basically to encourage the Christians but not in a way that the Roman authorities could use to hurt them further. One of those techniques is gematria, whereby names are given a numerical value, usually easily discerned by the intended audience: given that audience was first-century Christians, it's always been a bit tricky to figure out what John meant for Christians since. The most likely answer is that 666 (in Rev 13:18) is the sum of the letters in the Hebrew form of "Nero Caesar" transliterated into Greek - the 616 variant would then be explained by it being the sum of the letters of the same name when transliterated into Latin (the Romans commonly used both languages). Basically, Revelation was soon made available in Latin and Greek, and the 666/616 thing was just to make the code "work" to equal Nero (notorious for his persecution of Christians) in either language. There's more to the debate than that, but hey, that'll do for now.

666 or 616. As the Romans say, that’s an L of a difference.
