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 and as of 2005 (January) had about 2,500 pages of material.
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.
