Do You Know This Site?

[Spedius]

Ave

Three years ago, when I first started researching Roman Military Diplomas I would spend hours surfing the web. I was looking for anything that I thought might help me to find the object of my search, more diplomas.

I came accross a website which was an index of all articles written about the Roman army. The index was organised as an A to Z and had links within it linking authors and their articles to collections ie MAVORS, Limeskongress 3 etc.

I copied and pasted it into spreadsheets and it looked like this:-

Adams, C.E.P.
1995
"Supplying the Roman Army: O.Petr. 245", Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 109 (1995), 119-124
Adan-Bayewitz, D. & M. Aviam
1997
"Iotapata, Josephus, and the siege of 67: preliminary report on the 1992-94 seasons",
Journal of Roman Archaeology 10 (1997), 131-165
Africa, T.
1982
"Worms and the death of kings: a cautionary note on disease and history", Classical Antiquity 1 (1982), 1-17
Ahmed, S.S.
1972
"Hatra: a report on excavations of an ancient cosmopolitan city where east and west meet", Archaeology 25 (1972), 103-111
Al-Salihi, W.I.
1991
"Military considerations in the defences of Hatra", Mesopotamia 26 (1991), 187-194
Alcock, L.
1987
"Pictish studies: present and future", in: A. Small (ed.), The Picts. A new look at old problems (Dundee, 1987), 80-92
Alföldi, A.
1927
"Zur Kenntnis der Zeit der römischen Soldatenkaiser. I. Der Usurpator Aureolus und die Kavalleriereform des Gallienus",
Zeitschrift für Numismatik 37 (1927), 197-212
1959
"Cornuti: a Teutonic contingent in the service of Constantine the Great and its decisive role in the battle at the Milvian Bridge",
Dumbarton Oaks Papers 13 (1959), 171-179
Alföldi, M.R.
1959
"Zu den Militärreformen des Kaisers Gallienus", in:
Limeskongress 3
(1959), 13-18

My problem is a) I've lost the link and b) it stops: Version: August, 2000.

Has anyone seen this website, does it still exist? It is an invaluable resource not unlike Bulletin Analytique d'Histoire Romaine.

Hi Spedius,

The site you're looking for is I think Armamentarium. Try this link: [url:1yf4n6qt]http://museums.ncl.ac.uk/archive/arma/welc/bibliog.htm[/url]

It's a pity that it stopped in 2000. Amazing bibliography though.

Ave Hansvl,

Thank you for your swift response.

It looks the same but isn't the same. The concept is similar but is still different. Perhaps this is the companion to the one that I found. This one is specifically about arms and equipment hence the name Armamentarium.

I feel sure that the one I found three years ago was more about the Roman Army.

Here are some more from the collections page, which your one doesn't have:-

Or this one by John Paul Adams?

Ave Jasper,

I have it all, apart from the front page and none of the links are working. It stops at August 2000.

Could it make a great resource for Romanarmy.com? It would only be a list though.

A bibliographie is certainly something that needs to go on Romanarmy.com. I hesitate though to just copy content from another site, even if it has disappeared. Use it as a base, to flesh out, perhaps.

Just remember that I have it. Before you ask, I would not be a canditate to "flesh it out", I just don't have access to any of the sources.

It is an invaluable resource not unlike Bulletin Analytique d'Histoire Romaine.

High praise, indeed!

Feel free to copy my bibliography. It's just a listing of personal favourites (hence the name) -- not connected to any particular teaching regime -- and, as you noticed, only infrequently updated. And the fact that it's on Tripod virtually guarantees that it will eventually disappear!
Unfortunately, it's maybe not the most user-friendly web site in the world -- I always intended to convert it to an MS Access database, but never got around to it. Ah, well ...

Ave Duncan,

Hello again.

It was quite a relief to find your bibliography again after all those years.

May I make a suggestion, to reiterate a point that I made in my opening post, your bibliography is a valuable resource and ought to be preserved?

Why don't you offer it to Jasper to be hosted over on the Roman Army website?

You may have to get involved with the transfer, are you interested?
