Over on BlueSky, AWMC Director Gabriel Moss announces:

> Exciting news for folks interested in #LateAntiquity and GIS. AWMC's map of Hierokles' Synekdemos (offline since 2023) has now been refurbished and relaunched. Special thanks to Grace Bell for *lots* of heavy lifting on this project.

Finished up the Relics class yesterday with an excellent discussion of early Protestant critiques of relic veneration!

It was great to spend some time each week talking about such a fascinating topic with such engaged students.
