Funding for the creation of this on-going digital publication has been provided by the participating institutions, and by grants (2006-2014) from the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities.
Pleiades incorporates content from the following works:
- Michael McCormick, Guoping Huang, Kelly Gibson et al. (ed.) Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations, Harvard University Center for Geographic Analysis: http://darmc.harvard.edu.
- Richard Talbert (ed.), Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World, Princeton, 2000.
The website theme is adapted from plonetheme.notredame by Christian Schneider.
The banner image of the Nereid Monument is adapted from a photo by jikamajoja. The home page also uses images from Wikipedia, Dan Diffendale (on Flickr), and NYU's Ancient World Image Bank (on Flickr).
The dynamic maps found throughout the website were designed and coded by Sean Gillies and Tom Elliott using the Leaflet Javascript map library. User-selectable terrain layers are provided, including:
- "Ancient terrain (default)" (2014) by Ryan Horne, et al. for AWMC. See further: AWMC Map Tiles.
- "Modern terrain" and "Modern Streets" (2012) by Sean Gillies for ISAW
- "Roman Empire" (2012) by Johan Åhlfeldt for the Pelagios Project. See further: About the Digital Map of the Roman Empire.
The AWMC and ISAW map bases are served to the web via Mapbox.com; funding provided by ISAW.
The presentation of credits on this page is intended to conform to the emerging best practice in digital humanities projects as reflected in the draft Collaborators' Bill of Rights and the Fair Cite Initiative.
