Proxeny Networks of the Ancient World has had a makeover!

Proxeny Networks of the Ancient World  is a database of evidence for a particular kind of social networking between Greek city-states in the Ancient Greek world, known as proxeny (Greek: proxenia). It enables this material to be used to visualise the highly fragmented political geography of the ancient world during the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, and to get a sense of how densely and intensely interconnected were the states which made it up. 

Originally developed by William Mack (University of Birmingham) in 2016 as an accompaniment to  his book, Proxeny and Polis: Institutional Networks in the Ancient Greek World OSAD OUP, this immensely useful research tool has been given a revamp by Richard Carpenter.
