Texts: If you are looking for primary sources there are a number of places you can go:

Internet History Sourcebook – the links don’t always work and the selections are limited, but has some useful categories.

Perseus I wish this site were easier to navigate and to browse, but you really need to know what you are looking for for this site to be helpful. Click on Greek or Latin to search through their collection of ancient Greek and Latin sources

Diotima Links to sources for women in antiquity.

Greek and Roman texts:: I find this an easier website to navigate than Perseus, and it contains a lot of other useful information and introductions, which is helpful.

Attalus: an incredible collection of sources (including papyri), organized by date and name. It concentrates on the Hellenistic world and the Roman Republic, however.

If you’re interested in Roman Egypt, then the Duke Papyrus Archive is very helpful. This is where you get private letters from individual and real life documents.  Be careful to check the dates, to make sure the material is Roman, however.

If you are interested in Roman law (which tells us all sorts of amazing things, especially as they cite precedents and cases), here is a link to the massive 6th century CE Digest of Justinian, a collection of Roman law assembled by the Emperor Justinian.

Thanks to one of you, I have been introduced to this site, on illegitimate Roman children.

Only available at UBC or if logged in somewhere:

Oxford Reference: very useful if you need to look up someone or something and want an authoritative source. However, if you link to it anywhere, remember not everyone has access to this.

Images:

Wikimedia commons: there are an amazing array of images on here, from ancient to out of copyright material of more recent origin. However, you have to be careful as while some material is labelled correctly and described accurately, not all of it is. Use the images, but double check everything about them somewhere else. Everything here is usable, but do credit people as requested and respect the terms upon which images are uploaded.

Inscriptions

Wikimedia commons has many images of inscriptions from the CIL (Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum), a giant collection of Latin inscriptions. If you have a number from this collection, you can browse and see if there is an image here. Remember to give credit!

500 English translations of Latin inscriptions from the above.

Other:

Smith’s Dictionary of Greece and Rome: this is from the 19th century, so you can imagine that it’s not the most progressive in views sometimes, but it does have some very useful entries and you can’t fault its many helpful references to ancient sources, which this site tries to link.

Eidolon An online journal of Classics dedicated to exploring many of the topics we will be talking about in class. Accessible and open to those with little to no background in the subject.

Resources for teaching race and ethnicity in the ancient world: a really useful collection of links to various resources.
