Links to some of my favorite sites
Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire
Just a tremendous resource for anyone interested in maps, locations, or distances of the Ancient Roman world.
​
As the website describes itself - "Perseus Digital Library Project has explored what happens when libraries move online". Maintains hundreds of searchable, ancient texts.
​
Its purpose is in the title! Great reference point for finding a good historical fiction based upon the eras one is interested in.
​
I would be remiss not to plug Google Earth, the best way to travel to ancient ruins on a budget. Beyond that, it provides an invaluable array of tools and features, such as 3D terrain, explorable cities, rulers for measuring distances in all systems, and many more.
​
If you're like me, you enjoy the reviews of things as much as the things themselves. Kirkus feeds the urge.
​
Another review site, although this one is dedicated to the fantasy genre.
​
The only magazines of their kind that I am aware of. Regardless, the beautiful illustrations in each issue are as valuable as their articles.
​
Great forum site for all things Ancient Greece and Rome.
​
Website and blog of Steven Pressfield, author of some of my favorite works of historical fiction - Gates of Fire and Tides of War first and foremost.
​
All-purpose fantasy news site with some vibrant forums to boot.
​
Illustrated History of the Roman Empire
A good resource and general encyclopedia for all things Ancient Rome.
