'LacusCurtius' is a
website specializing in
ancient Rome, currently hosted on a server at the
University of Chicago. It went online on
August 26,
1997; in May 2006 it had "2350 pages, 616 photos, 627 drawings & engravings, 72 plans, 59 maps."
The main resources to be found on it include:
★ a number of Latin texts, usually in the original Latin and in English translation
★ Greek texts in English translation
★ ''
Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities''
★ ''
Platner's Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome''
★ several secondary works, mostly on
Rome and
Roman Britain
★ a photogazetteer of the Roman remains of central
Italy
The proper spelling of "LacusCurtius" is as a single
CamelCase word, with no space; the idea was to avoid polluting searches for the
Lacus Curtius, a different thing altogether.
