Only a month until publication of my book, “Sport: Antiquity and Its Legacy.” It’s part of a series written for a broad audience that traces the influence of the ancient Greeks & Romans on many topics. My book tackles sport & chapters look at ancient sport, the modern Olympics, physical fitness, stadiums & sports art.

@histodons @drpeterjmiller @antiquidons Should I set this on my shelf next to Mark Golden and Stephen G. Miller?

@thiswasatriumph @histodons @antiquidons high praise!! I can only hope to be associated with two of the very best (Mark is greatly missed in Winnipeg; he passed away in 2020)

@histodons @drpeterjmiller @antiquidons Sorry to hear about Mark Golden. We lost Stephen Miller recently too; he passed in 2021. He was a Wabash alum so hosted a group of us at Nemea in 2011. You’re standing on the shoulders of giants! I’ll have to pick up a copy of your book. Congrats!
