Fifty Years of Classical Computing
Rob Latousek · CALICO Journal · 2001
The use of computers for research and instruction in Classics has a long and proud history, now going back more than 50 years. Over this time classicists have often been on the cutting edge of development, starting with mainframe applications, migrating later to microcomputer, and continuing on through multimedia CD-ROMs, Web-based research tools, and the construction of virtual Rome on line. This article describes many of the most significant development efforts in this field and discuss some of the trends that are revealed by this history.
