What with Joseph of Arimithea coming to Glastonbury, and St Patrick - as EVERYONE knows - coming from the West Country, maybe 17 March should be #SomersetDay twitter.com/ClassAssocNI/s…

The best discussion on whether Herodotus visited Babylon is by Stephanie Dalley. She wrote an article and then an entire book on the specific issue of the absence of the Hanging Gardens from its account - but she touches on the marriage auctions as well.

Old Library at Queens College, Cambridge. The original 15th century library, with its shelves built from medieval lecterns filled with old manuscripts. Also the medieval stain glass windows featuring Camalite friars. Magnificent in many ways @holland_tom @QueensCam @incunabula pic.twitter.com/EnseThDAOr

Both ISIS and the Christchurch killer have publicly stated it as their ambition to see Muslims alienated from non-Muslims. They share not only common methods, but a common goal. twitter.com/thomasknox/sta…

And legend indeed it is - there were never any snakes in Ireland. Ireland was cut off from Britain before the climate became warm enough for them to make it from the mainland after the most recent Ice Age. twitter.com/ticiaverveer/s…

"A passion carried to fantaticism, and one which the ministry is no longer at liberty to check" - Talleyrand in 1814, observing the impact of popular support for abolitionism on the British political elite, which was left struggling to enact a policy it did not support.
