- Attalus: Not a reference by itself, but a list of events in Greek, Roman, and Mediterranean history, year-by-year in rough chronological order within that year, with those events massively referenced themselves. It is sort of a "meta-index" of event-specific references, with many of the references linked directly to online versions of the text. An invaluable online historical research tool!
