Saw this mentioned on the Classicists list; looks useful (although each section of the alphabet is a pdf):

Not sure when I noted this one (probably something on the Classicists list) … it’s in wiki format:
Bibliography of Ancient Slavery Online
Johannes Deissler sent this one along:
This is just a quick email to inform you that a beta of the ‘Bibliographie zur antiken Sklaverei Online (BASO) / Bibliography Ancient Slavery Online (BASO)’ database is now online for personal research.
The database can be accessed at www.sklaven.adwmainz.de – menu "Bibliographie" or http://www.sklaven.adwmainz.de/index.php?id=1584
BASO contains all monographs, essays and encyclopaedia articles for the academic study of ancient slavery, which became known to the Mainz Academy project "Forschungen zur antiken Sklaverei". It combines all titles already included in the last printed edition of 2003 (http://www.steiner-verlag.de/titel/53901.html), and some 4,000 newly collected data.
In the coming weeks, the database will be refined (including English interface) and additional bibliographic information will be implemented.
Your comments, questions and critiques are welcome.
A circulation of this information among colleagues is requested.
With best wishes
The Ancient Slavery Team at Mainz Academy (Germany)

Also Seen: Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua XI Online
Peter Thonemann announced the following on the Classicists list:
This is a message to announce the online publication of a new corpus of Greek and Latin inscriptions, Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua XI: Monuments from Phrygia and Lykaonia.
MAMA XI is a corpus of 387 inscriptions and other ancient monuments, 292 of which are unpublished, from Phrygia and Lykaonia, recorded by Sir William Calder (1881-1960) and Dr Michael Ballance (†27 July 2006) in the course of annual expeditions to Asia Minor in 1954-1957. The monuments have been edited with full commentaries, and marked-up in xml using EpiDoc electronic editorial conventions, by Peter Thonemann with the assistance of Édouard Chiricat and Charles Crowther.
The full corpus was published online on 14 September 2012 at the following address: http://mama.csad.ox.ac.uk/. A print volume will be published later as a Roman Society monograph.
The MAMA XI project has been funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and is based at the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents in Oxford.
Digital Base Map of the Roman World
Elton Barker posted this item of interest on the Classicists list:
Colleagues may be interested to learn of a new online resource that is now available and free to use.
Some of you may have been aware of the ongoing efforts in the Digital Classics community to use digital technology to visualise and help understanding of the geography of the ancient world. Projects such as Pleiades ( http://pleiades.stoa.org/), a gazetteer and graph of ancient places, for example, or Harvard’s Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilization (http://darmc.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do), which is a layered historical atlas, or Antiquity À-la-carte (http://bioapps.its.unc.edu/projects/awmc/alacarte/carte.html), an online GIS application.
Today the Pelagios team are pleased to announce the latest digital map, built on these previous initiatives and the magisterial Barrington Atlas. What marks this work out is the fact that its map tiles can be used as a background layer for use in a fashion similar to modern mapping applications like Google Maps. We are releasing these map tiles under a CC-BY license, which means that anyone is allowed not only to browse the map but also to use the tiles for presenting their own data or for building on them their own applications.
The basic background map (using Google Maps API) can be accessed here: http://pelagios.dme.ait.ac.at/maps/greco-roman/
Information about the making of the map, sources of geodata, and a legend to the symbols, can be found here: http://pelagios.dme.ait.ac.at/maps/greco-roman/about.html
And for a fully interactive implementation of the digital map, which shows one of the many ways it might be used, see here: francia.ahlfeldt.se/imperium.phpWork on creating these digital map tiles, made possible by the Pelagios project, has been carried out by Johan Åhlfeldt of Regnum Francorum Online ( http://www.francia.ahlfeldt.se/index.php). We would like to thank Johan for this massive undertaking, our funders JISC, and the many other people in the Digital Classics community (esp. those at Pleiades) for making this possible.
For those of you who would like more information about the work carried out, Johan has blogged about it here: http://pelagios-project.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/a-digital-map-of-roman-empire.html. We see this initiative as part of an ongoing collaborative enterprise and we make every effort to improving this as a resource. In due course, the Pelagios partners will be populating the map with links to online resources related to the ancient places represented. In the meantime we welcome feedback.
