"The object of this book is to present the essential facts of Latin
grammar in a direct and simple manner, and within the smallest compass
consistent with scholarly standards. While intended primarily for the secondary
school, it has not neglected the needs of the college student, and aims
to furnish such grammatical information as is ordinarily required in undergraduate
courses."

The
Intelligent Person's Guide to Latin
-
This Project has two purposes:
a) To deliver an "architectonic view" of the Latin linguistic system,
with a sense of what the parts mean and where they fit into a working linguistic
whole.
b) At the same time to present a rational explanation of the individual
components as they are described (paradigms and all), in the belief that
we know enough about practical linguistics at this time to revamp the Classical
traditional-ese jargon and talk about Latin as a language-system which
was quite satisfactory for well over a millennium of varied communications.

This is a companion to the Royal Holloway course in Beginners Latin, based

principally for review by those who have already completed the course,
but can be studied as an independent guide. It doesn't follow the order
of material in the coursebook precisely; rather, it threads what I hope
is a logical and progressive way through the grammatical topics covered.

Introduction
to Ancient and Biblical Greek: Gateway
-
"These two sequences of online Greek courses (1331/1332 and 3331/3332)
are intended to engage students with diverse backgrounds, goals, and interests,
in learning interactively. The common goal will be the acquisition
of fundamental translation skills in ancient and/or Biblical Greek.
Because the Greek "common" (koinê) dialect resulted from a
convergence of ancient dialects where Attic, the Greek spoken in Athens,
predominated, instruction in ancient Greek, which is traditionally based
on Attic, is at the same time an introduction to the language of the Old
and New Testaments." Gateway

inflected article like German's.

This an organized, annotated set of more than 100 links to reliable information
about ancient (primarily Greek and Roman) astrology and divination. It
is designed to provide some alternative to web searches that turn up dozens
of pages by modern astrologers and palmists--believers all. Indeed, I should
say at the outset that I am not a believer in astrology or any other form
of divination. I am, however, interested in ancient culture in all its
facets. I hope you find some of these resources useful.

in the first century A.D. (naked waitresses) to the boundlessly inventive
frolics of certain third-century emperors (don't even ask)."

The
IED: The Indo-European Dictionary
-
"The IED project is supervised by Alexander Lubotsky and Robert Beekes.
The aim of the project is threefold:
-
to compile etymological databases containing the inherited vocabulary of
various Indo-European branches and to publish them on the Internet;
-
to create an Indo-European etymological database on the Internet;
-
to compile a new Indo-European etymological dictionary, which will replace
Julius Pokorny's Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (Bern:
Francke, 1959). Although Pokorny's masterpiece is an indispensable tool
used by Indo-Europeanists for all kinds of research, it is completely outdated.
A new dictionary is a long-felt desideratum.

The whole project is planned in such a way that every researcher will be
responsible for one language, the one in which he or she is specialized.
Later, the collected evidence will be rearranged in accordance with the
respective Proto-Indo-European roots."

Martialis:
The Epigrams of Martial

This is an insanely ambitious project. On this blog I intend to
present the Latin text and an English translation of all the epigrams of
the first-century AD poet Marcus Valerius Martialis, better known to the
English-speaking world as Martial. By my reckoning there are 1565 epigrams
together with the five prose prefaces - which at a rate of one a day will
take the better part of four-and-a-half years to cover.

collaboration with leading archaeologists, MOR reconstructions incorporate
all known information concerning the original state of a site and include
dimensionally accurate 3D computer models based on existing publications
and physical surveys. The accuracy and completeness of the reconstructions
makes it possible to scientifically study the intended visual effect of
ruined masterpieces of art."

Petronius,
Satyricon 110.6-113.4 (Widow of Ephesus)
-
Upon entering the site, you will find that the text itself (Petronius,Satyricon
110.6-113.4) appears in the upper frame of the main window. On the surface,
this tale presents a relatively light-hearted bit of Roman misogynistic
wit. A closer reading, however, soon reveals interesting ambiguities that
are characteristic of Petronius' complex and elusive comic novel. (For
critical background, see the accompanying bibliography.)
The text itself is active: each word is linked to an on-line glossary,
which is designed to appear in the bottom frame of the main window.
