» Kirk_Johnson - Re: Welcome, Robert!
In response to message posted by ylpow:It is so great to have another topic on ancient history. I have always wanted to run an event about the ancient world, but we never had enough editors writing on this subject.
I have written a number of articles about the gardens of ancient Rome, so I could contribute to an ancient history event.

In response to message posted by bingley:If you look at the column on the left side of any Suite 101 page, you will find a list of the events that are currently running.
Events are mainly a way to bring together different topics, with articles about a certain theme.
It is a good way to showcase articles. For example, I have written articles on ancient Roman gardens, but people might not look for articles about ancient Rome in a topic entitled "Garden Design". Your topic will be perfect for the Women's History event that has run for a number of years during Women's History Month.
I wasn't planning on running an event immediately, although I was sort of thinking about a Christmas or Easter event entitled "The First Century". Some of the editors for religious topics might want to participate in such an event.

In response to message posted by bingley:This event usually features articles about women, but the people running events often stretch the event as far as possible in order to allow as much participation as possible.
Was Anna Commena an ancient writer? If so, she would be perfect for this event because she is part of history.

In response to message posted by bingley:Anna Comnena sounds perfect for the Women's History event, since she was doing something that most people only expect from males of that period.
