A Gateway to Ancient Rome

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.

Institut für Alte Sprachen - Klassische Philologie: Startseite Chapter 1 - Emma by Jane Austen Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection.

The event had every promise of happiness for her friend. "Poor Miss Taylor!

CRI/Voice, Institute - The Voice, Main Menu 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.
