Writings from Roman times on the Web
This is a selection of works from Roman authors which are available on
the internet. The majority of these come from The Ancient History
Sourcebook , with some other additions that I've found scattered around
the web. I've tried to organize them by writer, although some of these
pages have works from multiple writers put together due to subject
matter. In such cases, I'll re-list the document under each of the
authors.
