Amphorae were pottery vessels created to hold and transport goods in the Greek and Roman world; some were even highly decorative and given as prizes, or used to hold the ashes of the dead. Join me as I delve into the vessels of history...

This Day In History- Shakespeare Dies
Okay, so I'm a tiny bit late on this one... On April 23rd of 1616 William Shakespeare, the poet and playwright whose name and works would reach the very pinnacle of fame in western culture, died. We don't know for sure the date of his birth, but it may have been his 52nd birthday.
For fun can you name all of the plays of Shakespeare in 10 mins? (I missed 8, one because I just couldn't remember the spelling.)
