About this Site

This website contains a set of resources for students engaged in writing ancient history in my courses at Texas A&M University.

Be under no illusions that what I offer here is somehow complete or comprehensive of everything students will need to effectively read, interpret, and write about ancient history. Rather, these resources address some of the things that I have found students struggle with the most when it comes to writing about ancient sources at the college level. Some resources I have created myself while in other cases I have found helpful resources online and simply link to those resources rather than reinvent the wheel.

If you know of additional resources please feel free to share them with me and I may include them for the benefit of other students.
