Welcome!WIRE: Women in the Roman East seeks
to provide resources and digital tools for the study of women’s lives
in the Roman East. Within the project database, you will encounter a
wide range of evidence that bears witness to women’s experiences, from
epitaphs to coins. This collection is drawn from ancient texts,
excavation reports, museum catalogs, and field records. The sources can
be used to study any number of aspects of women’s lives in the Roman
East, from women’s names to women’s roles in imperial politics and cult.
The database is accessible to a range of users, including scholars
engaged in research, instructors integrating WIRE into their classroom
pedagogy, and interested members of the general public.
WIRE is actively developed under the supervision of
Robyn Le Blanc (UNCG) and Sean P. Burrus (U. Mich). New content and
features are continuously being added, and we welcome your feedback at contact@wireproject.org.
The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
