FORVM ANTIQVVM: HERAKLES PROJECT: Home Page
http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~ekondrat/heraklesmain.html
After completing my preliminary research, I found that there exists an enormous amount of material on Herakles, both ancient and modern. Unfortunately, most of this material would remain unknown without extensive searching through numerous data bases in various languages (most people would think to look for Herakles or Hercules, but Ercole or Melqart?).
How Excessive Government Killed Ancient Rome
http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cjv14n2-7.html
Beginning with the third century B.C. Roman economic policy started to contrast more and more sharply with that in the Hellenistic world, especially Egypt. In Greece and Egypt economic policy had gradually become highly regimented, depriving individuals of the freedom to pursue personal profit in production or trade, crushing them under a heavy burden of oppressive taxation, and forcing workers into vast collectives where they were little better than bees in a great hive.

The Philodemus Project is an international effort which aims, supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and by the generous contributions of individuals and participating universities, to reconstruct new texts of Philodemus' works on Poetics, Rhetoric, and Music. These texts will be published, along with translations and notes, in a series of volumes by Oxford University Press.

The Roman Quest for Material Order (150 BC to 300 AD) - By Miles Hodges
http://www.newgenevacenter.org/west/roman.htm
The Romans, coming along behind the Greeks (after defeating the Greeks militarily in 146 BC and turning Greece into a Roman province), put into effect a wonderfully ordered material civilization. This civilization indeed gave witness to the power of human reason or human engineering to work with the natural world in producing a place that people often thought was perfection itself.
