Independent digital catalogue
Explore Public-Domain Works in History, Law and Social Inquiry
This catalogue maps 94 public-domain texts by ancient region—Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Near East, and broader Ancient Civilizations—so you can follow a culture from myth to history, from daily life to imperial biography, or across continents from pre-Columbian America to Byzantium. Each entry links to a Project Gutenberg edition and provides a catalogue note, keywords, and target reader. Three suggested reading paths offer structured entry points: start with Greek athletics and Plutarch, explore Roman society through Nero's world and imperial women, or survey global ancient cultures from Sumer to the Maya. Categories overlap, so works may appear in more than one—use them as guides, not borders.
