Foreword [The extramural necropolis of Gaulos]

Abstract

The teacher has a tendency, in my view a legitimate one, to consider his former students and their achievements as an extension of himself. With their kind permission, I would like to consider the achievements of my former students who have forged a successful career for themselves, whether in my own speciality or in another field, as an extension of my own. I get a sense of pride not only from my own publications but also from those of my former students. From their contributions we teachers get a similar sense of parenthood as we get, mutatis mutandis, from the offspring of our children.
