Classicum

Classicum is a journal that appears twice every year, with articles of various length on any topic of general interest in the ancient world and its contemporary reception. The journal seeks to make accessible to a broad audience the fields of Classics, Ancient History, and Reception, and encourages, in addition to academic contributions and book reviews, articles that discuss the practices of teaching Greek and Latin, as well as performing Classics on stage and in other art forms.

Classicum is a joint production of CANSW and the Classical Languages Teachers Association (CLTA). In addition to two representatives from each of the associations, the Editorial Board consists of the Editor (Anne Rogerson, anne.rogerson@sydney.edu.au) and the Business Manager (Natasha Poole, natashapoole13@gmail.com).

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions are invited for publication, in the following categories:

  1. Original contributions on:

(a) academic topics relating to the history, language, literature, and culture of the ancient world and its modern reception;

(b) practices of teaching the history, language, literature, and culture of the ancient world;

(c) performing or representing Classics on stage and in other art forms.

  1. Reviews of books, exhibitions, performances and travels that relate explicitly or implicitly to the ancient world and its modern reception.

Acceptance for publications depends on the approval of referee(s). Everyone should feel encouraged to submit a contribution, because, granted the approval of referee(s), the Editorial Board will be more than happy to assist authors in preparing their manuscripts for actual publication, should additional assistance be desirable.

Classicum also invites authors to submit manuscripts they might want to publish in another form elsewhere later (e.g., a master’s thesis that may also be the beginning of a doctorate). We encourage submissions from honours undergraduate students and postgraduate students.
