ANCIENT ROMAN HISTORY EMAIL LISTS AND ONLINE BULLETIN BOARDS
edited by John J. Hartwell
<<-->>
This is an annotated list of online discussion groups and email bulletin boards concerned with ancient Roman studies. Most are available to all, with unrestricted membership.
Not included are a number of lists organized for members of specific Roman reenactment groups, those with specific role-playing functions, dedicated to gaming, and some very small, virtually inert email groups.
Additions, corrections and comments are invited. jjh
