5 Maecemas: Images of Ancient Rome
This is a very nice site, full of pictures from all over the Roman Empire. They are organized very cleverly: first by country, and then clicking on an architectural site name takes you to a new page with a list of pictures of that structure. Another great thing about it is that it's set up so that no page takes a long time to load -- so you can easily access exactly what you want in a short amount of time. Also, the pictures themselves are very good; most of the images on my site are from this one, by Leo C. Curran.

Sites with pictures and info:

4 "Map of Ancient Rome"
A nice visual overview of sites in Ancient Rome. (Thanks Pinewood Elementary 5th grade class!)

3 "History of Roman Architecture"
A collection of the most famous Roman structures; a list of clickable thumbnails, each of which gives you a larger image with about a paragraph of information.

Sites with more links:

4 "Online University: A Guide to Ancient Athens"
A comprehensive overview. (Thanks Addie!)

Other:

4 "Early Greek and Roman Baths"
A great set of information and links about bathhouse architecture and culture. (Thanks Melanie!)

Sites that seem to have gone away

4 "Renaissance and Baroque Architecture"
This is an absolutely huge database of images from all over the Roman Empire. They are apparently set up for a college course, but are organized by location (about 15); clicking on one takes you to a page of thumbnails, which are clickable for a larger image. Images from slides taken by Professor C. W. Westfall.

3 "Design Styles: Rome"
This site houses a large archive of images from ancient Rome. They are all in one long list, however, in no apparent order. Clicking a link takes you to the image, with some basic information on the structure included. From there you can also get a very large version of the image. I would give a four if the pictures were organized better.

3 "Roman Architecture"
The Roman Architecture section is only one of many of the extensive parent image archive. It's basically a long page of thumbnails; clicking one takes you to an "info page" which gives you the basic information about the picture; you can also get the larger image from the "info page", and click a button to go to the next or previous picture. There's also a small amount of old images (which for some reason are separate from the "new" page). One downfall of this site, however, is that most of the images are in black-and-white.

3 "Roman Art and Architecture"
A smaller archive of images, organized by location (Rome, Pompeii, Athens and beyond), plus basic info on each picture. Also, a bibliography.

4 Roman Architecture Gallery
This is an excellent set of images of the famous monuments of ancient Rome, with quite extensive information on each. A great bet if you're looking for somewhat detailed information about the different structures. It also includes a map of Rome which shows the relative location of every monument.

3 "Roman"
This contains a very informative introduction, and then a medium-sized list of pictures. Clicking a picture takes you to an "info page" with a paragraph of info on the structure shown. From there you can get a large version of the picture.

3 http://www-personal.umich.edu/~pfoss/ROMARCH.html
This link may or may not work. It used to be a good site, but for some reason seems to have gone off line. The URL shown is the old URL, but the URL obtained by clicking the above link might take you to a mirror of the site.

2 "Imperial Roman Architecture"
A measly set of pictures of four Roman structures. The reason I included it here is because it contains some drawn "blueprints" of the buildings, something which I haven't found elsewhere. There is also some information included about each one.

2 "Ancient Roman Architecture"
This site contains some information on famous structures and architecture in the city, country, and for the rich, poor, and farmers. It has a few pictures. Also, a very nice and complete page on the Colloseum.

4 "RomanSites: Art and Architecture"
This is an absolutely immense list of links, with very detailed summaries of each. Also included with each link is an email address of the maker of the site, and also the last date the site was checked (and the summary updated) by the webmaster of RomanSites. Almost all of the links work, because they are checked somewhat often, and sites it links to contain at least a little bit of usefull content. The main downfall of this site is the sheer amount of time it takes to load the gigantic list into your browser's memory. Fortunately, you only have to load the page once, so it isn't too much of a problem. Also, the list doesn't seem to be organized in any particular way.

3 "Link to Ancient Rome"
This site only offers a measly bunch of links to Roman architecture sites (many of which are described herein), but if you're looking for some more general information on Ancient Rome, this site is jam-packed! It lists the links by subject.

3 "Internet Resources: Rome"
Again, this doesn't contain much on architecture, but there is lots of potential for Rome in general. In fact, this site also house tons of it's own information about Rome.

2 "Architecture on the Web"
This is a quite outdated small set of links to various places, most of which I've covered above. At first glance it looks promising, but it's not.

4 "Roman Domestic Architecture: BIBLIOGRAPHY"
This is a very extensive bibliography on Roman Architecture. It includes many magazines as well as books, and is quite recent (articles range from 1958-1996).

4 "Exhibit: The Colloseum"
This is a terrific page on the Colloseum. It contains everything from who built it to it's architecture structure and design, to how it was used.

3 "Roman Concrete"
Well, if that's what you're looking for, this site is full of information.
