As part of Week Six we are today concentrating on answering questions raised on Week One. As a starting point Simon and I have created a video.
We have also added a video by Katherine where she introduces her research at Ostia and how it relates to Portus.
We have also added some additional cross-references to Hadrian's Wall course both on the platform and on the blog for those of you who are registered on both.

Italian translation of week one topics
Once again Eleonora has translated the summaries of the week one activities into Italian in order to support sharing of the course via Italian social media.
