Skenotheke: Images of the Ancient Stage"This project offers links to various images of the ancient stage. Of necessity, it is very much a work in progress. Anyone interested in contributing to the project is urged to do so: scanned images, links to pages on other web sites, bibliographic entries, or simply comments or advice are all welcome" By John Porter.

The Theatrum Pompeii Project
"The Theatrum Pompei Project aims first and foremost to disseminate ancient and medieval evidence for the opera theatri Pompei. Over the coming weeks and months a database will emerge that contains every literary and epigraphical reference, ancient and medieval, that pertains not only to the opera theatri Pompei, but also to every monument and building endeavour associated with Cn. Pompeius Magnus (cos. 70, 55, 52)."
