I've started writing a new blog as a somewhat lighter companion to this one.
Link here: http://ancientmeddaily.blogspot.com/.
The purpose of the blog is for me to write a bit of light entertainment in the form of news reports from the Ancient World. Essentially, I'm pretending the modern media was present in antiquity and writing reports in that style.
The new blog requires no real preparation, unlike this one, so it's not meant to be taken quite so seriously.
I'm aware it's probably nothing original, but I hope they'll be somewhat fun. I've certainly enjoyed writing the few I've done so far:
Early reports from Cannae!
Caesar spotted marching towards Italy!?
Residents of Pompeii outraged at Google streetview!
I hope anyone who reads them will find them light and entertaining.
