Antichthon is an annual internationally recognised journal of
ancient world studies. While it places its main emphasis on Greece and
Rome, its scope has been broadly defined so as to embrace the Ancient
Near East and the Mediterranean from the beginnings of civilisation to
the Early Middle Ages.The journal is open to contributions from
any country, and will publish articles on topics relating to the
languages, literature, thought, history, archaeology and reception of
the ancient world. It will not undertake full-scale reviewing, but may
include occasional reviews and articles reporting the progress of
scholarship in a particular field of enquiry. The language of
publication is English. From time to time special thematic volumes will
be published.
We are delighted to announce that all articles accepted for publication in Antichthon from 12 December 2025 will be ‘open access’; published with a Creative Commons licence and freely available to read online (see the journal’s Open Access Options (opens in a new tab) page for available licence options).
We have an OA option for every author: the costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution, payment of APCs for those with third-party funding, or else waived entirely, ensuring every author can publish and enjoy the benefits of OA.
