Dear all,
I've added a category 'Byzantine' to the DC wiki, and tagged a handful
of items that seem to be relevant. See the category page at
<http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Category:Byzantine>.
The question to the group: what other Digital Byzantine/Late Antiquity
projects should we be linking?
(Bonus points for anyone who can add content and/or urls to any of these
pages, some of which are stubs.)
Thanks,
G
