No new news articles to be found today. Instead on days like this, I'll post useful history website reviews or I'll post something about a book on the topic that I've read.

The Internet Ancient History Sourcebook
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/asbook.html

This is a website comprised of English translations of ancient greek and roman texts such as Suetonius, Thucydides or Tacitus, just to name a couple of examples. All of the translations come from the public domain, and so are often from older versions of the translations. Also on the site are other sourcebooks for Medieval history and for other specific history topics such as Womens history.

Some of the texts are full texts, some are only partial. The site is sorted by both region and time-period.
