Project Description
The Ancient Graffiti Project (AGP) is a major scholarly resource for studying inscriptions written by ancient Romans that has been in development for over a decade. We (Professors Sprenkle and Benefiel) are looking for students to develop new tools and features to continue improving AGP. These new features include being able to search for poetic and religious graffiti, adding an index to link terms to the inscriptions that contain those terms, improving the Pompeii map, offering the site in Spanish and other languages, and an improved pipeline for filtering and searching results.
Prerequisites
Students should have completed CSCI 209: Software Development.
