Ara Pacis Augustae
Created by Prof. Charles Rhyne, Professor Emeritus of Art History at Reed College, the main purpose of this web site is to make available a more comprehensive body of images of the Ara Pacis than previously available in any print or web publication.

Pompeii Forum Project
The Pompeii Forum Project is a collaborative research venture that is archaeologicaly based, heavily dependent upon advanced technology, and so conceived as to address broad issues in urban history and urban design. Evidence gathered to date challenges commonly held and widely published notions about the evolution of the forum, especially during the final years of the city's life. The goals are to provide the first systematic documentation of the architecture and decoration of the forum, to interpret evidence as it pertains to Pompeii's urban history, and to make wider contributions to both the history of urbanism and contemporary problems of urban design.
