Upcoming Features
I am pleased to also announce we will be implementing some new features on Lycurgus.org. One feature we are excited about will be a new battle section that will map out ancient battles and provide some visual context as to where they happened. A second feature will be an online audio book player that will surface audio books from the public domain. This will let you listen to the ancient texts while reading them!
Please feel free to post any feature requests in the forum.
Thank you for visiting!
