- De
Imperatoribus Romanis: An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors
- Michael DiMaio, Jr. of Salve Regina University is manager of this new
web site dedicated to Roman Emperors. De Imperatoribus Romanis
"allow[s] its users to retrieve short biographical essays of all the Roman
emperors from the accession of the Emperor Augustus to the death of the
Emperor Constantine XI Palaeologus. Each essay on this site, which is peer
reviewed, is written by a scholar and is accompanied by a bibliography,
illustrations, and footnotes." Scholarly and well-presented, this site
promises to be an excellent resource.
- Diocletian's
"Palace" at Split
- Michael Greenhalgh of the Australian National University presents this
exhibition. "Split - or Spalato - is one of the most extraordinary places
of the later Roman world, being no less than the palace which the Emperor
Diocletian began building in 293 AD in readiness for his retirement from
politics in 305. On the Dalmatian coast, adjacent to the Roman city of
Salonae, it takes the dual form of a legionary camp similar to those still
to be seen on the frontiers of Syria (appropriately so, for Diocletian was
of necessity a military emperor) but also, with its splendid loggias, of
an Italian house." This well-presented exhibition of Diocletian's
"Palace" at Split features sections on the Emperor Diocletian and the
"palace" itself.
- The Ecole
Initiative
- Founded by Anthony F. Beavers and administrated by Karen Rae Keck and
Norman Hugh Redington, the Ecole (Early Church On-Line Encyclopedia)

build a hypertext encyclopedia of the early Church. Though the initial
title index is small, the supplementary files are quite detailed and
growing. The site features an extensive glossary, hyperlinked to a central
chronology, and a documents page linked to a large selection of early
Church texts on the internet.

Romanum
- The Gnosis Archive
- The Gnosis Archive provides a variety of information on
Gnosticism, a religious tendency that has grown up alongside the

traditions has been difficult to discern. The site also includes The Gnostic Society Virtual
Library, a collection of primary texts on Gnosticism. The Gnosis
Archive is maintained by Lance Owens.

relating to its subject. The site also contains interactive maps, quizzes,
and a children's section exploring Roman culture.

- The Pompeii
Forum Project
- This site "is a collaborative venture that focuses on the urban center
of Pompeii. (The forum at any Roman town was the urban center housing the
town's main religious, civic, and commercial institutions.) There are
three components to the project: documentation of standing remains;
archaeological analysis; and urban study that seeks a) to interpret the
developments at Pompeii in the broader context of urban history and b) to
identify at Pompeii recurring patterns of urban evolution that can be
applied to contemporary issues in American urbanism." This internet site
is quite detailed, offering text complemented by several images,
archetectural plans and reconstructions to analyze the remains of this
ancient city.
