Dear Colleagues, We would like to share with you a website on the Ara Pacis Augustae that Reed College has been working on for the last two years. This was a collaborative project between Charles Rhyne, Professor Emeritus, Art History, Web Support Services, and the Visual Resources Center. http://cdm.reed.edu/ara-pacis/ Charles wrote: '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. The Ara Pacis Augustae is a complex masterpiece, with elaborate reliefs including more than a hundred figures and voluminous vegetation filled with the details of nature. It is also a much damaged and reconstructed monument, making it important to distinguish original from later portions and more recent changes. This web site attempts to provide in-depth visual documentation in support of the in-depth scholarly publications that have so enriched our understanding of Augustan art and society.' We hope it will be useful for research and teaching. Best regards, Karin Karin S.
