Top Five Lists

I have a terrible weakness for Top 10s, Top 5s, Top 100s etc, so these are a recurring feature on the blog. I tend to do Top Fives because that way I can go into a bit more detail on each item, but I'm very fickle.

Top Five Greek Gods
Top Five Roman Murder Mysteries
Top Five Mad Roman Emperors
Top Five Gladiatorial Combats
Top Five Ancient Vampires
Top Five Christmas Classics

Welcome to the blog! These are my (hopefully witty and entertaining) random thoughts on appearances of Greek and Roman stuff in popular culture. I also occasionally cover Egypt, the Near East and archaeology. You can contact me at J.G.Harrisson AT open.ac.uk.
