The Rostovtzeff Lectures: Recordings Online
Each spring ISAW sponsors a series of four lectures, named after the great ancient historian Michael I. Rostovtzeff. A Russian ancient historian, Rostovtzeff came to the U.S. after the Russian Revolution and taught for many years at Yale University as Sterling Professor of Ancient History. Rostovtzeff’s prodigious energies and sprawling interests led him to write on an almost unimaginable range of subjects. ISAW’s Rostovtzeff series presents scholarship that embodies its aspirations to foster work that crosses disciplinary, geographical, and chronological lines.
The Rostovtzeff Lectures are supported in part by a generous endowment fund given by Roger and Whitney Bagnall.
The Rostovtzeff Lectures are published by Princeton University Press.
