Further explanation
The image at the top of this sidebar is a bronze fountainhead from Cressing Temple, Essex, by Steven Morant. It also happens to be the present blogger, aged 16; he counts himself very lucky to be the sculptor's nephew. The font so poorly used in the blog titlepiece is Underware Unibody 8 Italic; fans of the foundry will be reassured to hear that I'm no relation of theirs.

Hurray! You're back.
I'm a faded classicist (turning it now to obsessing over book titles e.g. "Who should we treat?" - arrrrgggh! - rather than to lots of good productive reading Lucretius type good ends).
But, yes, I would admit to hating Gladiator. Doesn't everyone?
