TIL about Roman togas
* Were the business suit of the day and not something one wore casually
* Were semicircles of fabric (if your fabric is rectangular, you're wearing a “pallium”)
* Required assistance to put on
* Were a burden to wear and you had to use your left arm to keep it in placehttps://overcast.fm/+ABRBuqFKB_0

I saw the legendary Mary Beard last night at Melbourne Recital Centre.
I even got my question read out / answered (quite the thrill for me). I asked about her reaction to the recent meme of men being asked how often they "think about the Roman Empire?" - it struck me as a weirdly gendered phenomenon. Having her unpack this was interesting.

“According to the biographer Suetonius, Vespasian supposedly quipped at the end of his life, “Blimey, I think I am becoming a god.” The slightly archaic vae of the Latin is often translated as “alas” or “woe,” but to my ear “blimey” captures the hint of comedy better.” #MaryBeard @NewYorker

@yamuis Ja, ze is fantastisch, ik heb haar ontmoet toen ze in Nijmegen op de Radboud Universiteit het boekenproject presenteerde, in 2018. Alle eerstejaars studenten van de Letterenfaculteit kregen toen haar boekje Vrouwen en Macht.

Finished listening to #SPQR by #MaryBeard. It's good but not everything I was hoping for. There's a lot of Roman history and the names get all mixed up in my head like they're Russians in a story by Dostoevsky. I want to know everything about how these ideas we now mostly accept as essential to civilization came to be. #LiberalValues
