A Gateway to Ancient Rome

William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, an encyclopedic work containing a lot of good basic information (and references to primary sources), was published in 1875: it is thus an educational resource in the public domain. I've been putting a large selection of articles from it online, often as background material for other webpages. It is illustrated with its own woodcuts and some additional photographs of my own. Chariots and carriages, the theatre, circus and amphitheatre, roads, bridges, aqueducts, obelisks, timepieces, organs, hair curlers; marriage & children, slaves, dance, salt mines, and an awful lot more; among which special sections on law, religion, warfare, daily life, and clothing.

Ancient Rome — History.com Articles, Video, Pictures and Facts The decadence and incompetence of Commodus (180-192) brought the golden age of the Roman emperors to a disappointing end. His death at the hands of his own ministers sparked another period of civil war, from which Lucius Septimius Severus (193-211) emerged victorious. During the third century Rome suffered from a cycle of near-constant conflict. A total of 22 emperors took the throne, many of them meeting violent ends at the hands of the same soldiers who had propelled them to power. Meanwhile, threats from outside plagued the empire and depleted its riches, including continuing aggression from Germans and Parthians and raids by the Goths over the Aegean Sea. The reign of Diocletian (284-305) temporarily restored peace and prosperity in Rome, but at a high cost to the unity of the empire. The stability of this system suffered greatly after Diocletian and Maximian retired from office. Access hundreds of hours of historical video, commercial free, with HISTORY Vault.

Ressources électroniques Plutôt que de lancer un moteur de recherche (comme Google, par exemple), il est parfois plus commode d'explorer la Toile à partir de certains sites spécialisés qui ont déjà fait un premier choix dans l'énorme quantité de ressources disponibles et qui peuvent aider efficacement l'utilisateur.En ce qui concerne nos disciplines, beaucoup d'universités qui ont les études classiques à leur programme proposent dans la page d'entrée de leur département une liste, plus ou moins détaillée, de ressources disponibles. On pourra s'y référer, mais il faut savoir que certains sites, plus riches ou mieux présentés que d'autres, constituent d'excellents points d'entrée sur le réseau.La BCS voudrait proposer sur trois pages une sélection de points d'entrées jugés particulièrement utiles.

Electronic Resources for Classicists It's been more than 20 years since Electronic Resources first appeared. The web was still in its infancy and the gopher was the state of the art in technology. The first version of this survey was published in the February 1994 issue of the New England Classical Journal. [NECJ XXI.3 (1993-94) 117-21]. In the summer of 1995 the survey was converted to HTML with links to the various resources and made available online.
