Founded in 1968, this series publishes monographs in the fields of Greek and Latin philology as well as ancient history. The volumes cover a wide variety of topics: in addition to linguistic, textual-critical, or genre-historical philological studies, there are works on social, political, financial, and cultural history from classical antiquity and late antiquity. The quality of a work is crucial for its acceptance; the editors place particular emphasis on a comprehensive consideration of the relevant texts and sources and their careful critical evaluation.
