Classical Antiquity

CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY (CA) is one of the world's leading Classics journals. Published twice a year (April and October) by the University of California Press, this journal began its life in 1968 as the annual (hard-cover) California Studies in Classical Antiquity. Since switching in 1982 to a bi-annual, soft-cover format—and a shorter, less parochial name—it has established itself as one of the most distinguished and progressive scholarly journals in the field.

Classical Antiquity welcomes interdisciplinary research and discussion of major issues throughout the field of classics, including Greek and Roman literature, history, archaeology, visual culture, philosophy and philology, from the Bronze Age through Late Antiquity. CA's coverage of the Greco-Roman ancient world is truly expansive, and we are willing to publish longer articles than most other Classics journals when the significance of the topic and treatment justify this. (Conversely, we tend not to accept short notes or narrowly focused articles on technical topics.) Overall, our journal has earned a high reputation for critical open-mindedness and attention to the larger picture, without sacrificing concern for scholarly rigor and control of technical detail. We also have been successful in maintaining a nice balance between articles by well-established experts and by younger scholars. All submissions are "blind" and are refereed anonymously.

The Editors of CA are drawn from departments of Classics, History, and Art History up and down the West Coast and Arizona. The central office is maintained at UC Berkeley, and the Chief Editor has always been a member of the UCB Classics Department.

Currently the Editorial Board comprises:

  • Mark Griffith (UC Berkeley), Chair
  • Ellen Finkelpearl (Scripps College)
  • Alain Gowing (University of Washington)
  • Thomas N. Habinek (University of Southern California)
  • Steven Johnstone (University of Arizona)
  • Rainer Mack (John Paul Getty Museum)
  • Ellen Oliensis (UC Berkeley)
  • Gregory Thalmann (University of Southern California)
  • Jennifer Trimble (Stanford University)
