The Library

Use your library card to go online to excellent resources (and check the online catalog for books).
Seattle Public Library resources :
Britannica Online Reference Center (preferable to Britannica Online for Kids, which is more elementary-level). This searches the actual Encyclopedia Britannica, which has an extensive article on Ancient Rome (the list of subheadings on the left allows you to move to specific sections).

Biography Resource Center: great for researching people

Literature Resource Center: great for any literary topic

Seattle Public Schools resources:
World Book gives general overview for many of the topics on the list, and articles like the one on Ancient Rome offer links to recommended websites and a list of recommended books.

IF YOU FIND A GREAT WEBSITE ON ANCIENT ROME, SHARE IT IN THE COMMENTS. (Remember to look for who wrote it, and consider how reliable the information is.)
