Doctoral Student at HSE University Reveals Hidden Layout of Ancient Parion
İdil Malgil, a researcher at HSE University, conducted a UAV-based LiDAR survey of the ancient Roman city of Parion in present-day Turkey. The high density of the scans allowed the team to detect subtle terrain features concealed beneath the ground and vegetation. The survey revealed traces of entire neighbourhoods, terraced structures, and walls that had remained invisible during routine excavations and could not be identified through aerial photography. The findings have been published in Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia.

A Note on Pliny the Elder (HN 9. 126)
Shumilin M., Classical Quarterly 2025 Vol. 75 No. 1 P. 516–519
The article argues for an emendation in Plin. HN 9.126. Modern editors are accustomed to print the text cum testa uiuas, adopting J. Hardouin’s conjecture for cum terra uitis, the reading transmitted in most manuscripts. Nevertheless, the overlooked manuscript reading contritis conchis allows us to deduce a palaeographically neater solution contritis if conchis is considered a gloss which entered the text. ...

Shumilin M., Аристей. Aristeas: Вестник классической филологии и античной истории 2025 Т. 32 С. 54–66
In the article, the question of the approach to conjectural intervention is discussed in the context of the new edition of Pliny the Elder.

Первая "публичная" библиотека в Риме в "Естественной истории" Плиния Старшего
Снедкова Е. В., Вестник Воронежского государственного университета. Серия: История. Политология. Социология 2024 № 2 С. 106–110
Принято считать, что древнеримские библиотеки, называемые в источниках «публичными» (publicae), в действительности были доступны для очень ограниченного круга людей, представлявших собой образованную элиту и приближенных принцепса. В статье рассматриваются сообщения Плиния Старшего о первой такой библиотеке в Риме, основанной Азинием Поллионом в Атрии Свободы. Автор первой в мире энциклопедии Плиний Старший высоко ценил доступность знаний, ...
