I keep hoping they will find some of Claudius’s histories, Carthage, Etruscans. His supposed history of his life, that murderous family. Some of the lost Livy docs. Hoping there was a good library over there in Herculaneum.
They have just started with this stuff. So far it’s they found the word ‘purple’. Gee it could be a while...
There are a number of dramass and philosophical works written by Greeks 3 or 4 hundred years earlier that it would be wonderful to discover in this library. For some dramatists we have 2 or 3 works but reports of a dozen others. What an exciting literary prospect.
