I’m really pleased that Venetic and the goddess Reitia have been included on the CREWS project blog. Many thanks to Pippa Steele for writing this post, making such good use of my photos (and Anna’s delicious cake). As Pippa points out, Venetic gives us lots of important and unparalleled evidence for how people learned to read and write, and the importance of writing in ancient culture.
As the goddess of writing and women (among other things), Reitia is also the perfect patron goddess for the beginning of term.
