Sarah Beckmann is the Andrew Heiskell Rome Prize fellow in ancient studies at the American Academy in Rome.

Since 2018, she has served as an Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of California, Los Angeles.

About Australia, the ramifications of ChatGPT, and the intersection of the Latin language and LEGO® products.

Anthony Gibbins teaches Latin and Greek at Sydney Grammar School in Sydney, Australia. He is the creator of Legonium, a popular novella, social media account, and repository of instructional resources, all designed around the intersection of the Latin language and LEGO® products. 

The description of the Legonium novella reads as follows: "A Latin reader like no other. Legonium is both a town and a tale. It is a town built entirely from LEGO® bricks, and filled with an incredible cast of characters. There is a struggling artist, a bank manager, a police officer, a private detective, plus a suspicious character spotted on the roof of the town bank, and, of course, Pico, the cat. And it is a tale told completely in Latin, with short sentences, a full range of grammatical structures, repetition of vocabulary, hundreds of pictures, and an English translation for reference. There is a police chase, a trip to Pompeii, a talkative parrot, and a mysterious suitcase."

CORRECTION: In Anthony's "Bella Stellaria" novella, R2D2 is called Erduum (not Erduus) and C3PO is called Tripium (not Tripius).
