An excellent resource to gain insight into the city of Constantinople before those wicked Turks blew the walls down. You can click on different features to add them as layers to the map. That makes no sense; anyway it's really cool.

A beautifully rendered 3D model of Constantinople in the year 1200 AD. It is divided into regions of the city and gives you an excellent idea of what the city looked like at street level.

Report of Mission to Constantinople

I'm not sure how useful people will find this, however some might use it so I've included it. It contains translations of coins and seals from the Byzantine Empire organised around historical personalities and topics.

This edition completes the inclusion of published archival material from the monasteries of Mt Athos, and that relating to Nea Mone (Chios). It adds basic treatment of Byzantine Italy till the capture of Bari (1071). There has been considerable tidying throughout, but especially at the beginning and end, a process which will continue in the next edition (2007.1). The main emphasis of that edition will be on seals.

A valuable collection of coins and art from the Byzantine Empire through the fourth to the fifteenth century. Some useful sources on medieval Serbia.

Has some small excerpts from medieval texts with accompanying translation and explanation. Not a whole lot there (unless you pay for premium access...) but would be useful for student research into medieval Britain/Constantinople/Vikings). Some pretty images for classroom resources there, too.

"The Suda is a massive 10th century Byzantine Greek historical encyclopedia of the ancient Mediterranean world, derived from the scholia to critical editions of canonical works and from compilations by yet earlier authors." There are some English texts in there too. Should be stuff on the Crusades.
