One hundred twenty-six coins from the Bibliothèque nationale de France, recently cataloged by Julien Olivier, have been incorporated into the newly-released Antigonid Coins Online (AGCO), which so far includes the coinage of Demetrius Poliorcetes. Roughly a dozen of these coins were already accessible through AGCO upon its launch since a handful of the coins of Demetrius are cross-linked with posthumous issues in the name of Alexander the Great in PELLA (related specimens are displayed in Numishare when they link directly to a type URI or implied to be the same via skos:exactMatch).
A BnF example of Demetrius 51
There are now 433 total specimens connected to the 182 types of Demetrius Poliorcetes. Two-thirds of the types are connected to at least one physical specimens, and about 40% (77 types) of the corpus links to at least one photographed coin. This number will grow, as the majority of the ANS' coins of Demetrius have not been photographed yet.

Liberal arts college classics department handbook
Liberal arts college classics department handbook
This website hosts the Handbook For Chairs and Directors of Undergraduate Classics Departments and Programs and ancillary resources to support chairs.
The Handbook provides an overview of challenges and opportunities for 21st century undergraduate Classics departments and programs. We have intentionally limited the scope of the handbook to undergraduate departments, for unlike institutions with MA and PhD tracks in Classics, such programs focus exclusively on undergraduate education. A collaboration of over 30 Classics department chairs and program directors, the handbook covers a range of topics: students, faculty, curriculum, working within your home institution, and outreach. There are also links to resources, data, and articles that we hope will prove useful to Classics faculty. We will update this handbook regularly and welcome suggestions.

Digital Dead Sea Scrolls

The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
The Israel Museum welcomes you to the Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Project, allowing users to examine and explore these most ancient manuscripts from Second Temple times at a level of detail never before possible. Developed in partnership with Google, the new website gives users access to searchable, fast-loading, high-resolution images of the scrolls, as well as short explanatory videos and background information on the texts and their history. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which include the oldest known biblical manuscripts in existence, offer critical insight into Jewish society in the Land of Israel during the Second Temple Period, the time of the birth of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. Five complete scrolls from the Israel Museum have been digitized for the project at this stage and are now accessible online.
"We are privileged to house in the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book the best preserved and most complete Dead Sea Scrolls ever discovered," said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. "They are of paramount importance among the touchstones of monotheistic world heritage, and they represent unique highlights of our Museum's encyclopedic holdings. Now, through our partnership with Google, we are able to bring these treasures to the broadest possible public."
The five Dead Sea Scrolls that have been digitized thus far include the Great Isaiah Scroll, the Community Rule Scroll, the Commentary on Habakkuk Scroll, the Temple Scroll, and the War Scroll, with search queries on Google.com sending users directly to the online scrolls. All five scrolls can be magnified so that users may examine texts in exacting detail. Details invisible to the naked eye are made visible through ultra-high resolution digital photography by photographer Ardon Bar-Hama– at 1,200 mega pixels each, these images are almost two hundred times higher in resolution than those produced by a standard camera. Each picture utilized UV-protected flash tubes with an exposure of 1/4000th of a second to minimize damage to the fragile manuscripts. In addition, the Great Isaiah Scroll may be searched by column, chapter, and verse, and is accompanied by an English translation tool and by an option for users to submit translations of verses in their own languages.

BiblIndex Index of Biblical Quotations in Early Christian Literature
[First posted in AWOL 9 December 2009. Updated 25 July 2020 (links corrected)]
The BiblIndex project is supported by Sources Chrétiennes – HiSoMA in Lyon and funded by the French National Research Agency (2011-2015) and the Digital Scientific Library (2015-2016). BiblIndex aims at building an exhaustive online index of biblical quotations and allusions in Early Christian Literature, both Western and Eastern texts, which is meant to eventually cover the whole Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. This is not about a binary and one-way connection between a frozen canonical corpus and a corpus of authors quoting verbatim: more accurately, BiblIndex seeks to give full account of the complex links existing between a corpus of biblical texts –changing collections of fragmented scriptural books which were originally written in various languages and translated early in their history, while still in progress– with a corpus of ancient and medieval authors, who refer to the Bible –while commenting, meditating, translating it– as a fixed entity yet at the same time contribute, through their quotations and spiritual or liturgical reminiscences, to the form and concept of 'the text'. Quotations in ancient authors show these biblical texts in the process of development and reception. Reassembling this hitherto scattered patrimonial treasure, BiblIndex aims at providing a federative tool –as objective as possible– intended for scholars and researchers as well as for a wider audience, in order to help understand the acculturation process of the Bible both in East and West, and to enhance studies in exegesis and history of the biblical text.
