Il est destiné à recevoir les livres neufs... jusqu'à ce qu'il soit trop petit ! 😁

A long shot, but do I have any followers with a lot of knowledge about ancient Greece, and/or Roman empire (~200BC-200AD)?
Am trying to find some info on Archeological finds, and well, Google search is essentially useless now, so I'm hoping the amazing power of the fediverse can help.

Vous avez marre d'attendre 1an, 2 ans, 3 ans... pour voir la suite de votre série ?
Ou de commencer une série et à la saison 3 : "Ooooh c'est dommage, la série est annulée... pas de bol hein ?!"
Lisez un livre, vous aurez la fin ! 😋
