Useful Resources

Please visit FeAudrey's SPQR Citizens' Companion for a selection of ancient-world links, and Romanae Antiquae for an informal look at the lives of women in Ancient Rome.

As interesting resources come to light, particularly those pertaining to virtual reality and archaeological reconstructions, we'll add to the list on this page. Full book bibliography for this web site to come; brief bibliography here.
