LacusCurtius

Encyclopedia : L : LA : LAC : LacusCurtius

This article regards the LacusCurtius website, named after the Lacus Curtius in the Roman Forum.

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; in May 2006 it had "2350 pages, 616 photos, 627 drawings & engravings, 72 plans, 59 maps."

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.
