Congratulations to our undergraduates Matthew Ellams, Emily Morgan and Bradley Waters, who have had an article accepted to the Journal of the Numismatic Association of Australia. Arising from research performed as part of the Warwick URSS scheme and the Beginnings of Empire project, their article details the differing reactions to expanding Roman control in the eastern Mediterranean, and will appear in vol 25 of the journal in 2014.

Tired of conventional medicine? Dr. Caroline Petit tells you everything about nigella seeds, the Vicks inhaler of ancient Greece and modern day Marrakech. Warwick Knowledge, Dec. 4, 2013.

On 7th February 2014, the staff and students of Warwick Classics Department will be hosting an Ancient Drama Day for Schools based around a performance of Plautus' Pseudolous, directed and acted by Warwick Classics Students. This event is ideal for GCSE and AS/A2 students in Latin, Greek, Ancient history, Classical Civilisation, Drama and English (no previous experience of ancient world required).

We are very much looking forward to welcoming our new students in October 2013. For some ideas for what you might like to have a look at before you arrive, see our information for offer holders.
