The toys are leftovers from experiments on my own server. Potentially useful, which is another way of saying not actually working are the Atlases:

The Aegean Atlas is a limited atlas of Greek sites in the Aegean Sea. Because of the way it was written it would get clumsy after a hundred site were listed - which is a problem if you want to pinpoint several locations in a city, like the Parthenon, Erechthion, Pnyx and so on.

The Sicilian Atlas has next to no sites in it. What it does is test a script that pulls names from a database as you type, so you can see if the city is listed the way you would spell it. Useful if you want to search for Agrigento, Agrigentum or Akragas which are all the same place. To test it slowly type Ak into the box and see what comes up.

Also on the server are the name generators.

The Viking Name Generator takes your name and gives you a Viking replacement. It’s not 100% accurate.

Bruce’s Australian Name Generator is on the other hand entirely accurate.

If you want to gain notoriety then The Alternative Archaeology Generator will provide a title and plot for your next book. I don’t know if Erich von Daniken uses it or not.

The Roman Name Generator was inspired by reading yet another America is the new Rome article which looked for simple similarities.
