Claudius’ Humiliation at Suetonius, Divvs Clavdivs 8
Suetonius says that court jesters put slippers on Claudius’ hands while he napped during Caligula's dinner parties so that he would rub his face with them when he awoke. Since touching someone with the sole of a shoe was an insult, the joke is that Claudius insulted himself when he unwittingly rubbed his own face with the slippers
The Marriage of Knemon in Menander's Dyskolos
Given that Knemon's fondest wish is to be left alone, it is surprising that he married the widow of his neighbor, thereby bringing more people into his household. The ultimate goal of this marriage is to further his isolation. By marrying this widow, he is able to gain control of her deceased husband's house until her son is old enough to inherit the property, thus ensuring that no one will live next to him for well over a decade
Mutilating Demipho in Plautus’ Mercator
In Plautus’ Mercator , the senex amator Demipho lusts after the slave girl Pasicompsa, who is the lover of his son Charinus. Demipho knows nothing about their relationship. He believes that Charinus bought Pasicompsa as a present for his mother while he was trading on Rhodes. In an attempt to gain access to her, Demipho enlists the aid of his elderly neighbour, Lysimachus, who taunts him for his infatuation with such a young woman. Eager to persu…

An Oracular Scene from the Pozo Moro Funerary Monument
The Sphere-Bearing Anthropomorphic Figurines of Amathus
A number of female figurines from the Cypro-Archaic tombs of Amathus have been identified as frame-drum players on the basis of the round objects they hold. However, a close examination of these figurines reveals that several of them carry spheres instead of frame drums. These spheres represent a type of baetyl that served as a cult image in some Cypriot sanctuaries of the Cypro-Archaic period. Therefore, the terracottas may depict participants i…
Hannibal's Elephants and the Crossing of the Rhône
Hannibal's trek through western Europe has fascinated ancient and modern historians alike. Although most attention has been focused on determining his route through the Alps, a less popular question, the site of his Rhône crossing, has been by no means neglected. Many scholars have offered differing solutions to this problem, but all agree on one point: that Hannibal transported his elephants across the Rhône by raft. No doubt this consensus stem…
