From http://pace-ancient.mcmaster.ca/york/york/help.htm

The purpose of the PACE project is to provide an online resource, focused but open-ended, for reflection on issues of cultural identity and interaction in the Greco-Roman world. The resource is grounded in substantial texts by authors who conspicuously embodied the set of problems being examined: Polybius (ca. 203 - 120 BCE) and Flavius Josephus (37 - 100+ CE). Both men, leading members of their local aristocracies, spent many years in Rome and became well acquainted with leading figures of their day. Both had to deal with the problem of the ongoing identity of their home cities in the context of Roman hegemony: the role and value of the native 'constitutions' or laws, traditions, and the established elite bodies.

The site now provides the Greek texts of Polybius and Josephus in the standard critical editions, morphologically tagged via Perseus; two English translations for each author, as available; Walbank's commentary to Polybius; the Brill commentary to Josephus with translation; images of sites mentioned in the two texts and their commentaries; current archaeological descriptions of the same sites; dissertation abstracts and, in some cases, full texts; hard-to-find books and articles; notes on the reception-history of Polybius and Josephus (only the latter for now); annotated bibliography for both authors; and parallel passages.
