HISTORY 210, THE ANCIENT WORLD
Prof. GADDIS
HELPFUL INTERNET RESOURCES
Internet Ancient History Sourcebook: Probably the best single site for primary sources in translation; a staggeringly large assortment. Be sure to check out separate sections for Medieval History, Jewish History, Byzantine Studies, Women’s History, etc. In addition to primary texts, also includes helpful essays on critical techniques, methodology, research tools. Spend a good few hours exploring this one! The majority of your online assigned readings will be found here.
Henry-Davis: Great collection of maps dating from ancient and medieval times. See the world as the ancients saw it!
Art History Resources on the Web: Gigantic collection of links to museum collections, archaeological sites, images from all periods of history. Check out their Ancient Near East, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sections.
Perseus Project: Excellent general site for Classics/Ancient History. Translated texts of Greek and Latin authors. Huge library of images: art, buildings, archaeological site plans, coins, etc.
De Imperatoribus Romanis: An online encyclopedia of Roman and Byzantine emperors (search chronologically or alphabetically), with links to maps, portraits and coins, family trees, short biographies, up-to-date bibliography. Currently has excellent coverage for the fourth and fifth centuries, a bit spotty for second and third centuries.
Online Encyclopedia of Pharaohs (Egyptian Ministry of Tourism). Brief historical biographies, some pictures.
Diotima: Best place to look for materials relating to women and gender in the ancient world. Primary sources, images, course syllabi, bibliographies, links.
Noncanonical Homepage: Apocryphal texts, both Old and New Testament; Nag Hammadi/Gnostic texts; some church fathers.
