Ancient World Online is intended to be an introductory learning resource for anyone who is interested in the history of Ancient Rome. Whether you're young or old, the ancient past has many lessons to teach us about our lives today, where we came from, who we are, and what we should do into the future. This website was created to act as a one-stop-shop that provides an overview of the numerous topics that relate to Roman history, a topic which spans multiple disciplines and niche topics. While many educational websites on Rome provide scholarly articles and textual or visual information, these can often be difficult to navigate, or fail to provide broader information for those not already well versed in history. Ancientworld.online provides interactive elements, as well as textual and visual information on a number of topics in order to bridge the gap between academic research and public interest, allowing more people to build a mental image of the ancient world. In doing so, we hope to bring the joy that knowledge of the past can confer to more people!
