Web resources for study of the Roman military
#1
Salve,<br>
<br>
There are a number of useful aids available on the web that can add significantly to the ease with which source information on the Roman army can be retrieved. There may be some limitations with regard to the material currently available (eg translations that are out of date, incomplete collections of inscriptions), but nevertheless use of these web resources should help to make a start in queries. As these online resources appear not to be widely known to visitors of the forum, a selection of them is listed below.<br>

<br>
Salve,<br>

just found this site. It offers lists of rulers of almost every country in the world (present and ancient), including Rome (emperors, consuls, pontifex maximus, pretenders etc.). Very, very impressive. If you always wanted to know who was the ruler of Lah Na in 1596 (= Tharawaddy), this is the site.<br>

The University of Notre Dame has a great Latin Dictionary and, in my opinion, the best free Latin translator available on the internet.<br>

maybe the Ashland Shakespear company should have used some of these resorses. their Anthony and Cleoptara was a farce. no one could tell the egyptians from the romans. one "roman" was dressed in a "confederate generals" uniform. no togas no armor for the war acts. everyone was so confused as to who was who and we had read the play and this was a college tour with grade at the end. even the instructor who was a shakespear scholar was confused.<br>
then octavian was oriental.<br>
