The Ancient Web is a primarily commercial website, however it does provide some good, free reference materials for students. The Ancient Web focuses on offering articles and images explaining the history and culture of ancient civilizations around the world. Students can search the website by keyword or by country name.

The Ancient Web is a good general reference for students researching ancient civilizations and cultures from around the world.
