Classical Youth Society of Ireland: Conversing the Classics II After nearly a year of post-production work, the Classical Youth Society Ireland (CYSI) is delighted to announce the launch of Conversing the Classics series II. The series was recorded over a two-week period with academics in various universities around the UK, starting in Cambridge and ending in Manchester. The aim of the second series follows on from the first: to bring academic research on the ancient world to a wider audience by presenting it through an accessible medium. As always, the topics of discussion were wide-ranging, from the poetry of Martial to the life and works of Procopius. The series was funded and supported by Classical Association of Ireland. Special thanks ought to be extended to Michael Fuller, who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes editing each episode; Dr Alexander Thein (UCD), who encouraged me to seek funding for a second series; and the respective academics who gave time to discuss their research. 4
