Barbara F. McManus, The College of New Rochelle. Role-Playing Game in VRoma.

María Concepción Palomo Ramos, Librarian and Researcher, Centro de Estudios de la Mujer, Universidad de Salamanca (España). Bibliography in Spanish.
A compilation of books and articles in Spanish on ancient women.

Janet Stephens, Independent Scholar and Hair Archaeologist. Ancient Hairstyle Recreation.
This webpage, linked to the Worlds of Body and State, illustrates, through ancient artifacts and modern recreation, some of the hairstyles made popular by Roman empresses. The author offers links to videos that demonstrate the tools and process of creating the hairstyles worn by Agrippina Minor and Julia Domna, as well as a link to her online videos on forensic hairstyling.
