All Roads Lead to Rome at the UVU Library

The Ides of March have come around again and this year marks the 2058th anniversary of the assassination of Julius Caesar. Many people may know enough about this event to quip "Et tu, Brute?" but come to the Library during Spring Break to learn the real history.

Historical Abstracts

This database specializes in articles by a wide variety of historians. Most articles are peer-reviewed. Some articles about ancient history are available, but most of this database focuses on history from the Renaissance to the present. We're listing it here because the Roman Empire has had such a lasting impact on politics, history, geography, law, art, and literature ever since its decline and fall.

JSTOR

In addition to articles about more recent history, JSTOR contains a wealth of articles about ancient history. The best part about using JSTOR is that you can read every article that you find through our subscription!

Roman History Books

Books are the best way to get in-depth knowledge of the Roman Empire. Learn about emperors, assassinations, conquests, sea battles, certain Egyptian queens, decadent Roman culture, and much more in section DG on the fourth floor.
