On this day - April 23 - Romans celebrated the Vinalia Priora. The first barrels of wine - filled the previous August - were opened and poured as a libation to Jupiter, whose control of the weather determined the quality of the wine.

.@ClassAssocNI have added a new talk to our 2018-19 programme. You may have seen in the news that an intact ancient ship was found in the Black Sea, and in keeping with that discovery and his own research, @RaoulMcLaughlin will speak on "Greek and Roman voyages in the Black Sea."
