The site, in 1997
The ancient Rome part of a large history website made by William P. Thayer, hosted at the University of Chicago.
Begun in 1995, it now holds thousands of pages of text and hundreds of photographs. The name comes from a legendary pit in the Roman Forum.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
