Curious to learn a little more about art in the far reaches of the empire? These unique mosaics found across Roman Britain, especially Fishbourne palace, tell the lives of those who commissioned them, and how Roman art was adopted and improved on far from the city itself.

Do you like to say "God forbid women do anything?" when you are slightly inconvenienced? Do you despise Aeneas? This playlist is for you.
Zo Clarke
If Dido were alive today, she would have good taste in music. Aeneas would not. Absorb Dido's taste in music to avoid becoming Aeneas.
Allison Baek
For when you really have to found Rome. For real this time. You're done, no more detours, founding Rome now. No, Mercury did not make you, why do you ask?
Arya Ramachandran
For the Swifties, the broken-hearted, the kids of the 2010s and Latin students of all ages.
To be clear, we're not sure how many of these you can actually listen to. If you're intrepid, you can maybe give them a look-up, but perhaps you'd rather take them as inspiration and go make your own. Personal preference is, after all, important.

Why were the students upset?
Because the school ‘nix‘ed the snow day!
Why did the student purchase a 40 ft tree?
Because his Latin teacher asked him to XL in his purchase!
