In this episode of Instant Classics we discuss the Vestal Virgins (who, why & where?). But we also touch on how new interpretations of the distant past are generated and how they change. https://t.co/STu9mYV7gX

Breaking news. After Exploring the Odyssey (aka Odyssey Book Club for us veterans) we are going to be exploring Virgil's Aeneid. We have tragedy and Herodotus very much in mind (don't worry!)... but the next big book is Aeneid @instantclassicspod https://t.co/4rWDwxy8M0

“One of 16 Vestal Virgins who were leaving for the coast” it was Procul Harum’s “whiter shade of pale” that first introduced me to the Roman Vestals. I’ve learned a few things about them since. See here on Instant Classics https://t.co/STu9mYV7gX

Ever wonder what the Roman Vestal Virgins got up to? What they did all day? What was in their temple (there's a surprise!)? Plus in this episode of Instant Classics we try to give a glimpse of how there are new things to say about these very old things https://t.co/4uoNuQzp4H

I'm really looking forward to talking in Dublin on 15 October, "More Secret Histories of Ancient Rome". I'll be talking about some strange cold cases from the Roman world, and decoding some intriguing messages we can still read in Roman graffiti, and more: https://t.co/MIsErJRr6y

It was in front of the Vestal Virgins that K Williams (as Caesar) delivered the immortal lines “infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it infamy”. But who WERE the Virgins,what did they do and (I’m afraid) how virginal? Find out here! https://t.co/STu9mYV7gX
