Minima is reconstructing the tombstone of Regina, British ex-slave and wife of Barates the Syrian. She's wearing a two-layered dress in the British style, and holding a distaff. By her feet are a basket of wool and a jewellery box. Regina is a non-playing character in the first Minimus book!

ClassicsTober 2024

This year's ClassicsTober prompts are all Ancient History figures, chosen by classicists, archaeologists, historians, writers (and me!). Minimus and Minima have picked out a few to tell Silvius...

Minimus
@Minimus I just discovered there is a book of Minimus. It seems not to be on your online shop... What a pity! I could use it as a gift for a friend of mine, enthusiast of Latin, ancient and modern Greek and Japanese, who teaches Spanish in France. She does not like English, but I'm sure she will like minimus mouse.
@Minimus Curiosum... Nesciebam Classictober esse. Salve Regina Minimaque!

@Minimus

Oh, good - it’s time for Minima’s theatrical flair to take centre stage! Wheeee! 😋

@Minimus This is brilliant, thanks for the intro to #Classicstober2024 & the 31 bios. Great #storytelling!
