Also Seen: Feature on Carthage
Owen Jarus – LiveScience’s guy-who-writes-stuff-in-our-purview – in addition to the piece on Hadrian’s Wall we mentioned a few days ago, has also done a feature on Carthage … worth a look …
Also Seen: Associations in the Greco-Roman World: A Companion to the Sourcebook
You’ve probably seen this already scrolling by in the various Blogosphere posts about it … to excerpt Phil Harland’s email:
… users of the site can browse through hundreds of inscriptions (450 so far) involving guilds, immigrant groups, and other associations in the ancient Mediterranean. The user can browse by geography or by topics (including gods) using the right side bar. There is also a feature we called “selected exhibits” on (hopefully) interesting topics to a general reader (with about 10 inscriptions in each exhibit). There are many documents with English translations, and the user can choose to view just those (in selected exhibits). One of the selected exhibits is for Judeans (Jews) in the diaspora. The plan is to continue to expand the website with more inscriptions relating to these groups. There are already 100 inscriptions that do not appear in the sourcebook (marked with an asterisk).
… definitely useful
