Caecili­us est in Horto

If you study Latin in the UK, there’s a very good chance you will use the Cambridge Latin books from the 1970s. Although they’re forty years old, they’re still in print (and also on the Apple Store), and have a special place in people’s hearts. 

Chel­lah, Morocco

Here’s an inter­est­ing place just outside Rabat in Morocco. Chel­lah was a Roman city, which later became a necro­pol­is for the tombs of mara­bouts, wander­ing Sufi holy men, who often take on the role of saints after death. I took these pictures over a decade ago, when digit­al camer­as weren’t as good as today, so apolo­gies for any burnt out high­lights or other optic­al issues- the rest of the photos can be seen here.
