Coordinated through Tufts University's Department of Classics, the Project provides access to a wealth of Classical texts (mostly Greek and Roman) in the original and in translation. It also offers access to images of Classical art, architecture, and everyday objects.

The topics include Women's Voices, Philosophers, Legal Status in the Roman World, Men's Opinions, Legal Status in the Greek World, Public Life and Occupations. The texts themselves are liberally hyperlinked to other ancient history Web sites.
