This morning, one of the interesting things turned up by my feed reader was a <abbr title="Bryn Mawr Classical Review">BMCR</abbr> review written by Kassandra Miller, who is currently [Visiting Assistant Professor in Classics at Union College](https://www.union.edu/classics/faculty/kassandra-miller):

<div class="bibreference">Miller, Kassandra. [Review of: Jonathan Ben-Dov, Lutz Doering (Ed.), <span class="bibtitle">The Construction of Time in Antiquity: Ritual, Art, and Identity.</span> Cambridge; New York: Cambridge University Press, 2017. Pp. Xii, 296. ISBN 9781107108967. £75.00.]. <span class="bibtitle">Bryn Mawr Classical Review</span>, no. 2019.03.20 (March 2019). <a href="http://www.bmcreview.org/2019/03/20190320.html">http://www.bmcreview.org/2019/03/20190320.html</a>.</div>

I've put [the Ben-Dov/Doering book](http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/989950886) on [my "to read" list](https://www.zotero.org/paregorios/items/collectionKey/5NH26WX4). I'm also looking forward to the appearance of Prof. Miller's [forthcoming multi-authored Brill volume on "short time" in the ancient Mediterranean](https://www.union.edu/news/stories/201903/People-in-the-news---Week-of-March-8-2019), which (I assume) springs from [this 2017 conference at the University of Chicago](https://humanities.uchicago.edu/calendar/details/CAL-ff808081-5a64cbd9-015a-661b2ef8-00001312eventscalendar%2540uchicago.edu).
