Torlonia marbles



Mystery packages await me now that I'm back from vacation. 

The BBC recently reported about the substantial Torlonia collection of ancient marbles that have been locked up in storage for decades. At last some have been cleaned and will be exhibited. I always tell my students what good is it if collections are inaccessible in storage? What good do they do anyone in storage? They need to be accessible.
