About Oculus

Introduction

Oculus was originally (back in 1996) the inevitable consequence of three things:

1. a filing cabinet drawer full to bursting with transparencies taken over several years of visiting Roman sites
2. a scanner just aching with the need to scan something... such as transparencies
3. somebody offering you 2Mb of Web space for free (it seems so little now!)
   

Here, revivified after a hiatus of several years, you will find themed illustrated essays, academic papers that never got published anywhere else (not all of them bad), and odd (but interesting) things that have caught my attention; in fact virtually anything, just so long as it is connected with the Romans.
