[Use UCSB Library Search, and do a Library Catalog search for the Title 'Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt.']
Berlin ; New York : W. de Gruyter 1972- over 70 vols., to date
- ANRW is a survey of Roman Studies in the broadest sense, and includes the history of the reception and influence of the Roman Culture. ANRW's aim is to present all important aspects of the ancient Roman world, as well as its legacy and continued influence in medieval and modern times. The work is divided into three parts:

I. From the Origins of Rome to the End of the Republic
II. The Principate
III. Late Antiquity

Each part consists of six systematic sections, which occasionally overlap: 1. Political History, 2. Law, 3. Religion, 4. Language and Literature, 5. Philosophy and the Sciences, 6. The Arts.

Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. (TLG)
Irvine: University of California, Irvine, 2001-
- A database of ancient Greek literature, the TLG digital library now contains virtually all ancient Greek texts surviving from the period between Homer (8th century B.C.) and A.D. 600, and a large number of texts deriving from the period between A.D. 600 and 1453.

Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. (TLL)
Berlin; New York: De Gruyter 2007-<2018>
- "The Thesaurus is intended to cover Latin in full from the beginnings to the Antonine age, with selective coverage extending up to the seventh century A.D. Individual scholars prepare the entry for each word; all articles are signed. Entries discuss forms, gender, and, when appropriate, vowel quantities. The then give the full history of the word. The treatment is exhaustive; each entry includes a massive number of examples and citations. The TLL is the best and fullest source available for the study of Latin lexicography."
