Italy available for other academics when we are not using it. We seek renters for our child friendly
recently renovated apartment in Lucca, Italy. Our home has 880 square feet inside and a 400-square-foot
terrace with excellent vistas. There are two bedrooms and a studio with sofa bed, plus a spacious
kitchen/living room and a bathroom. We are ideally equipped for research (high-speed internet, satellite
tv, printer/scanner, voltage transformers, etc.). We have air conditioning and heating, dishwasher and
washing machine. We are normally able to negotiate a 10% discount on Italian language courses for our
tenants. The apartment will next be available from November 15, 2010 to April 30, 2010, and again from
September 1, 2011 to June 7, 2012.
We seek long-term renters, though we will entertain
requests for shorter term rentals, particularly in the summer and spring, in case a longer term rental

New: The Department of History and Classical Studies,
McGill University
The study of Classics and Ancient History at McGill University was
vigorously rebuilt over the past years. As a consequence of its successful revival, and to fully
acknowledge it at the University level, the Department of History departmental designation was changed
to 'The Department of History and Classical Studies' in May 2010.
Established in 1834,
Classics has a thriving tradition in McGill's Faculty of Arts. Unfortunately, the 1990s witnessed the
gradual disintegration of the discipline. In 1997, the department was closed and the remaining faculty
transferred to the Department of History, where Classics continued to offer selected undergraduate
degree options. Since 2005, with the tremendous support of the Faculty of Arts and the Department of
History, a systematic relaunch was propelled. The revival marks an all new chapter in the history of
Classical Studies at McGill.
The new Classical Studies branch of the department comprises
seven full-time members, two adjunct appointments and a corresponding number of contributing faculty
from other departments. It offers the full slate of undergraduate degree options in Ancient History and
Classics and also a Minor in Modern Hellenic Studies. Graduate studies include M.A. programs in Ancient
History, Classics and Modern Hellenic Studies, and a PhD in Ancient History. In addition to the
department's progressive funding scheme, funds are available through professors' sponsored research and
also an extensive stock of prizes and awards. For more information, please visit
www.mcgill.ca/classics.

From: Leanne
Bablitz
The Association of Ancient Historians is currently gathering information for a new
"Directory of Ancient Historians." They have asked me to collect information for those in
Canada who consider themselves ancient historians (including emeriti and emeritae) and wish to have
their information included in the book. Please forward the following information (as you wish it to
appear in the directory) to me in an email (leanne.bablitz@ubc.ca) with the subject heading "AAH
directory":
- your name
- your rank/position
- where you received your PhD
-
your work mailing address
- your work phone
- home phone (if you wish)
- your fax
-
your email address
- your web page address
- your research interests (please use short
phrases; can be multiple, but no more than three.)
If you know of someone who may not receive
the CCB, please pass this along to them. We obviously want to reach as many historians as possible! We
are now past the deadline, but are eager to try and include as many people as possible.
