Acta Classica Mediterranea
Guidelines for Authors

Scope and Content

Acta Classica Mediterranea is a double-blind peer reviewed international journal
open to problem-oriented original papers that offer new ideas and insights for the
political, socio-economic, cultural aspects of the Graeco-Roman world and its
neighbouring Mediterranean cultures. Geographically, it covers the core areas of
Greek and Roman cultures together with their spheres of interaction, the period
between 10th century BC-AD 564 forming its temporal limits. Acta Classica Medi
terranea accepts papers on subjects related to the disciplines of ancient history,
classical philology, epigraphy, classical archaeology, numismatics and papyrology.
Catalogue-heavy works remain outside the scope of the journal.

Inscriptiones Asiae Minoris

As is known, since the 19th century the epigraphical
material has regularly being published in a variety of journals and monographies
in the western world. In order to overcome the difficulty in following the ever
increasing number of these publications, periodicals collecting all the available
incriptions began to be published to provide easy access for epigraphists and
historians. In the last 20 years, however, due to the sheer number of inscriptions
discovered every year in excavations and surveys, these periodicals faced with delays,
which, especially in the 2000’s, resulted in a five-year gap between the discover
ies and their commentaries in some cases. Naturally, this causes problems among
the Classicists. Thus, in order to fill this gap at least for Asia Minor, we aspire to
collect and put at the disposal of the researchers the published Greek and Latin
inscriptions of the region.
