1993.05.04, Corrigendum and a Conference

That strange hissing sound you may have heard in the middle distance recently is the sound of embarrassed steam escaping from author and editors of the review of a book about Valerius Maximus that went on to refer to Valerius Paterculus. I could express the, so to speak, velleity to have a chance to do that one over, but I will forbear. In the meantime, pls. see the following news of a colloquium of interest
