Ancient Roman Technology (ART) is an extensive website based at the University of North Carolina covering all aspects of Roman technology. The site had not been updated since 1997 and is not terrific). Nonetheless some useful basic articles and links to related websites are available here. Topics covered include: survival (food, clothing, shelter); arts and crafts (how to use glass and clay); mines and iron (mining, smelting and blacksmithing); quarries and stoneworking (types of stone, uses for stone); transport; construction and civil engineering (architecture, buildings, bridges); towns and cities (planning, health facilities); special technologies (war, health, medicine, death, science, gadgets). There is also a bibliography, glossary and gazetteer for the ART.

The original website is down, so you might want to check out wikipedia's page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Roman_technology
