Do
you appreciate the value of history? Especially ancient history?
There is a wonderful website called Ancient History Encyclopedia. The
vision statement at their website clearly outlines their intent and
purpose:
“At Ancient History Encyclopedia we believe that ancient history is too important to be found in expensive books, on private homepages with a nationalist agenda, or less reliable Wikis. The internet is available in every country on earth, and it deserves reliable high-quality educational history information.”
They
really do accomplish what they set out to do. They may not have set
out to inspire me to do additional research and write blog posts
about my findings, but they did! Below is a roundup of blog posts
published at Joie de Vivre Magazine.
Do
you like history?
Is
there a favorite history blog or website you enjoy?

you enjoy these posts.
