Site is maintained by a prof at the University of Saskatchewan and contains some selections from Graeco-Roman writers. Focus on Classical Athens and Augustan Rome.

At its height in the second century A.D., the Roman Empire was the beacon of learning, power, and prosperity in the western world. But the once-powerful Rome...

CyArk is a foundation that creates a 3D digital archive of the World's Heritage Sites for preservation and education.

An excellent list of sites related to Ancient History, focussing mainly on the Classical West and the Near East. I wonder why the Chinese and Indians and others still don't count as 'Ancient History' to most people? A great collection, though.

Texts in translation

Seems to give thorough and accurate definitions of terms related to Classical history. Seems to be neglecting the reality that Asia had Ancient History too, but that's a minor oversight. Only a couple of billion people lived there anyway... Would be great for preliminary student research and definitions.

This looks like an absolute treasure of a find, however the list does not lead to actual image, only descriptions of artefacts. They say they're still adding to it, perhaps that's why the images aren't up? I guess the pace of change is slower for classicists. Anyway, if they ever add those images this site will be an Ancient History teacher's dream. Fingers crossed.

Large collection of materials (primary sources, etc) on Cleopatra.

Translations of poems from a variety of regions and time periods. Particularly good ancient collection.

To those of you who recently joined the group after the QHTA State Conference, I promised that I would provide the podcast of my presentation if any of you missed anything. Here it is. I've also placed some of my lesson podcasts here. Alternately, you can subsribe to my podcasts on iTunes by searching for David Hilton. As sources they're probably unreliable...

This photostream from flickr is maintained by Wessex Archaeology in Britain. It contains images of their excavations and the artefacts they've recovered. Useful for investigations of pre-modern Britain, I would imagine.

An excellent site for maps of civilisations of all time periods and regions. Easily usable - great for student research or developing classroom resources. Just save the images and Bob's your uncle!

Just checked this site out for Medieval History maps. The site is only in Beta phase at the moment and only covers up to the end of Ancient History. i.e. 500AD
