Late Antiquity on the WebFollowing
is a directory to some of the more useful Web sites relevant to this course. Distance
students in particular may find these resources useful. Some of the reference
works in particular are valuable - De imperatoribus Romanis (On Roman Emperors)
is a good example. Of course, you can also so your own search on the Web
for authors or topics (and if you find anything really good, let me know!). But
please note: Online material
is a very mixed bag. There are no complete online libraries which can replace
the physical resources. The quality of material is very uneven. Often the first
priority for selecting material is 'Is it out of copyright?' But there are useful
sites, including specialist encyclopaedias (of course, nobody would be using general
online encyclopaedias such as Encarta at 200/300 level, would they?). Caveat
emptor: just because its in a book doesn't mean it's right; just because its
on the Web doesn't make it real. | Materials
are lsited under several headings: General
directories and guides:
sites with texts, tools, and links to other sitesBack
to headings I have found the following to be the most useful sites for
starting points in using the Web as a resource in late antiquity. They contain
e.g. guides to specialist sites, source materials, reference works, research tools,
and discussions lists.

and English translation; some are only original language or translation. If you
open a text and it is in Latin, check to see if there is a link to a translation.
