On Bill Thayer’s Web Site he explains that “LacusCurtius: Into the Roman World” which is his creation is: “a major site on Roman antiquity, including a photogazetteer of Roman and Etruscan cities and monuments (with a very large site on the city of Rome of course); a site for teaching yourself to read Latin inscriptions; the complete Latin texts of [major authors, and much more].”

One way people find LacusCurtius is through MIT Open Courseware (“OCR”) where the collection is recommended on the Ancient World: Rome course for: “More ancient sources in translation; useful collections of photos of Latin inscriptions and theatres inter alia; a few old secondary works on ancient Rome.”
