Corpus Scriptorum Latinorum

A digital library of the entire body of Latin literature, both in Latin and in translation.

The Greek counterpart to Corpus Scriptorum Latinorum.

Includes very good translations of Frontinus, Vitruvius, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Polybius, and Plutarch (incl. some of the Moralia).

One thing about the primary texts in Perseus is that the each text is separated into multiple pages, making it more readable but harder to search or print.

The emphasis of Ancient History Sourcebook is primary texts, including those not found in Perseus. It also includes links to art and archeology material. Once again, the benefit over Perseus is that each primary text is found in a single page, but the caveat again is some translations are perhaps not as good as the Perseus’ translation.

The web-site contains some primary texts of classical literature, like Augustus’ Res Gestae, Tacitus’ Annals etc, has been translated into English and include those not found in Perseus. The benefit of this web-site over Perseus is that each primary text is found in a single page so it makes searching easier. On the down side, I don’t like some of the translations.

This is a good library of primary texts. Unfortunately, everything is in Latin and there is no search engine. Thus, unless you plan to read entire text or you know the citation, you will be lost.
