Ancient
History Sourcebook
The Internet Ancient History Sourcebook is a companion to the Internet
Medieval Sourcebook and the Internet Modern History Sourcebook. The Medieval
Sourcebook is both a classroom resource and the largest collection of
online medieval texts. The Ancient and Modern Sourcebooks have a different
role: since there are already ample online repositories of texts for these
periods, the goal here is to provide and organize texts for use in classroom
situations. Links to the larger online collections are provided for those
who want to explore further.

Ancient
Chinese Technology
A common stereotype is that the Chinese traditionally lack scientific
and technological ability, although, somehow, they stumbled upon paper
making, printing, gunpowder, and the mariner's compass. Modern Chinese,
themselves, sometimes are surprised to realize that modern agriculture,
shipping, astronomical observatories, decimal mathematics, paper money,
umbrellas, wheelbarrows, multi-stage rockets, brandy and whiskey, the
game of chess, and much more, all came from China.

The
Legio X Gemina Homepage
This is the homepage of the Gemina Project, a Dutch reenactment society
that portrays Roman soldiers and civilians as they would have appeared
in the last quarter of the first century AD when the legio X Gemina was
stationed at the castra of Nijmegen. In accordance with the educational
aims of our group members regularly participate in public displays and
lectures at museums, schools and sites of historical value, often in cooperation
with similar reenactment societies from all over Europe.
