Judaism and Rome project
The new Judaism and Rome project “aims to:
- give access to some important sources, providing as much information as possible: images, original text, translation
- provide the reader with an original and detailed analysis of each source, a service that is very rarely offered on the internet, and which makes this website comparable to a rich sourcebook
- promote interdisciplinary discussion between scholars working on Roman history, Jewish Studies, Epigraphy, Numismatics, Classics, Patristics, History of Christianity, etc.”
Several interesting resources have already been made available with the promise of more to come.

Still a work in progress, the catalog currently includes 3,679 individual聽works聽(2,522 Greek and 1,247 Latin), with over 11,000 links to online versions of these works (6,419 in聽Google Books, 5,098 to the聽Internet Archive, 593 to the聽Hathi Trust). The Perseus interface now includes links to the Perseus Catalog from the main navigation bar, and also from within the majority of texts in the Greco-Roman collection.
