🔴 **Slavery, Prosperity, and Inequality in Roman Pompeii**
_“These narratives can be seen to form two sides to the same coin, as Pompeii’s prosperity was created in large part thanks to slave labour. The connection is supported by constructing a probabilistic model, which suggests some 6 million sesterces (HS) flowed every year to Pompeii’s masters through their exploitation of slaves. Slave owning probably formed the largest single income source for the urban economy.”_

The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures

🔴 📖 **Christian Palestinian Aramaic between Greek and Arabic**
“The corpus consists mostly of translations from Greek, highlighting significant lexical borrowings and idiosyncratic syntax, such as periphrastic verb constructions. The article traces evidence of Arabic substrate influence in pre-Islamic times, including phonological shifts and loanwords, reflecting interactions between Arabic- and Aramaic-speaking Christians.”_

🔴 📖 **Aramaic: Lingua Franca, Koine, or Both?**
_”The study investigates the historical roles of Aramaic as both a lingua franca and a koine, examining its development and usage across various periods. It identifies three main contexts: as the administrative and diplomatic language of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, as the religious and scholarly language of Jewish communities in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and as the liturgical and literary language of Syriac Christianity.”

🔴 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 **How the US has tried to annex Canada before – and why some Canadians wanted to become American **
Kristofer Allerfeldt
_“The 1812 invasion of Canada was a far more serious affair. Hoping to capture Canada in order to use it as a bargaining chip in their maritime disputes with Britain, US forces launched a three-pronged attack._
_It met with stiff resistance from the British and their Canadian and Native American allies. The invading US forces were comprehensively defeated.”_
