Fun times in Age of Constantine Seminar!
various quotes from my prof that proof that classicists are the craziest of the academics!
[translating from latin] "he aprehended that Lucinius was remaining in his rear... wait that doesn't sound right" [blush]
"it was sort of like that game 'whack the mole'...'whack the heretic!'"
"did he just have to go *flick* on the forehead of Paganism and it just fell over and died?"
[explaining why the common folk didn't care about lofty intellectual philosophy] "it's like pole vaulting over mouse turds"
"people didn't like Christians because they're cannibals, they're incestuous, and they killed babies"
[pointing to a man in a fresco] "the unfortunately named 'Pupianus'" (come on, sound it out!)
