If you are new to the Internet, you should start by using this tutorial, produced by the Humanities Computing Unit at Oxford. If you come across an internet site and are unsure about how reliable it is, look at Evaluating Internet Sites for Academic Use , produced by the Subject Centre for History, Classics and Archaeology. If you reach a site via direct links from this page or from other Lampeter Classics pages, you can assume that it is a reliable one. If you reach it via another route, you need to ask yourself what its credentials are before you use it.

Here are links to some of the most useful WWW resources for people studying Classics at University level. An enormous collection of links to and material on Roman history and archaeology.
