Journal of Roman Studies Freebies

Wow … here’s what the Cambridge Journals folks say:

We are delighted to announce the completion of The Journal of Roman Studies (JRS) digital archive. JRS has published leading articles in Roman history, archaeology, literature and art for over a century. To celebrate the digitisation we are offering complimentary access to a key paper from each decade of publication.

… and the papers chosen are definitely impressive … Coleman’s Fatal Charades, Beard’s Sexual Status of the Vestal Virgins, Millar on Emperors and Provinces, Griffin on Augustan Poetry … and plenty more. Definitely worth a look:
