Research
Research at the department covers the entire breadth of ancient history from the Archaic period to Late Antiquity. It is characterized by innovative methodological approaches and intensive basic scientific work, especially in Latin and Greek epigraphy and numismatics.
The focus is on research into the epigraphic cultures of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean world and their epigraphic habits, the social, religious and mental history of Greece and the Roman Empire, the history of the city in antiquity and the transition between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The geographical focus is on Greece, Asia Minor, Iudaea and the north-western provinces of the Roman Empire.
