 Indice
Direttori: Angela Maria Andrisano, Giusto Picone
Redattori: Alice Bonandini, Alessandro Iannucci, Marco De Marinis, Virginia Mastellari, Renata Raccanelli, Luigi Spina

Dionysus ex Machina resta annuale ma, a partire dal n.XIV (2023), assume la forma “aperta”.
Ciò significa che, anche dopo la pubblicazione online, saranno accolti i contributi pervenuti entro l’anno solare e approvati dalla redazione e dai referees

Ricordo di Mario Palumbo

Contributi

La sezione accoglie contributi che affrontano con diversità di metodologie questioni inerenti l'esegesi dei testi teatrali (anche frammentari) greci e latini. Ne discende una molteplicità di chiavi di lettura, diversamente orientate in senso filologico-linguistico, drammaturgico, antropologico, storico-letterario.

Open Access Journal: AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies

 [First posted 25 September 2025, updated 1 October 2026]
 
ISSN: 3081-4553 
Banner 

Founded in 2025, AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies (ISSN 3081-4553) was established on the conviction that Ancient Studies—encompassing history, archaeology, philology, and art history—urgently require a dedicated forum for critical reflection on pedagogy, teaching practices, and the transformative role of digital technologies in education. In a scholarly environment where research often takes precedence, this journal places teaching at the centre of attention: as a fundamental, creative, and intellectual dimension of professional practice in the study of the ancient world.

The journal’s mission is to foster dialogue among researchers, educators, and technologists committed to inclusive, active, and innovative pedagogies for engaging with the past. AI & Antiquity gives particular attention to perspectives historically overlooked in scholarship—especially those of women and other underrepresented groups—alongside the experiences of neurodivergent students and educators. As an online publication, it provides a dynamic platform for exchanging ideas and practices across disciplines and geographies. While artificial intelligence occupies a central place in this conversation, the journal also embraces a wide spectrum of digital tools—from immersive environments and data visualisation to collaborative platforms and gamified learning strategies—with the aim of reshaping how Antiquity is taught and learned in the 21st century.

AI & Antiquity is published under the umbrella of the Center for Innovation in Ancient Worlds (CIAW), a non-profit academic framework designed to sustain the journal and to foster new initiatives at the intersection of Ancient Studies, pedagogy, and digital innovation. Through CIAW, the journal benefits from a stable institutional base while remaining an independent academic initiative. It also counts on the support of the Area of Ancient History, Department of Sciences of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Drawing on the expertise of a distinguished editorial team and an international advisory board, AI & Antiquity ensures academic excellence, fosters interdisciplinary innovation, and seeks global relevance in every contribution it publishes.

Volume 2, Issue 2 (2026) of AI & Antiquity, devoted to “Neurodiversity and Antiquity,” explores how Ancient Studies can move from a model centred primarily on individual accommodation towards more inclusive forms of educational design. Its contributions examine the intellectual strengths associated with neurodivergence, the experiences of neurodivergent educators, the reduction of barriers in tutorials and online learning environments, and alternative ways of structuring assessment without lowering academic standards. A central argument running through the issue is that inclusion does not mean making learning easier, but distinguishing more carefully between the disciplinary competences that must remain constant and the pedagogical conventions that can legitimately vary. The issue is dedicated to all neurodivergent people, whose experiences and perspectives enrich how we teach and understand the world.

The issue also connects these questions with the critical use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. Several contributions show how AI can become an object of historical and pedagogical analysis rather than simply a tool to be adopted or prohibited, and how meaningful AI literacy depends on foundational skills such as critical reading, source evaluation, error detection, and argumentation. The three book reviews extend these concerns to digital competence in higher education, student attendance and participation, and the educational effects of Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece, reinforcing a common principle: educational innovation has value when it demonstrably supports learning, accessibility, and critical judgement.

A Corpus of Roman Lead Ingots: Introduction, Analysis, Prosopography

Peter Rothenhoefer , Michael Bode , Norbert Hanel 
Ephemeris Epigraphica Electronica, 1
Bd. 1
Blei war in römischer Zeit wichtiges Handelsgut, das in großem Umfang in den Bergbauzentren verschiedener Provinzen abgebaut und in Form massiver Barren in alle Provinzen des Imperium Romanum verbracht wurde. Das vorliegende Werk liefert Daten zu mehr als 2700 römischen Bleibarren. Durch die innovative Kombination epigraphischer, archäologischer und archäometallurgischer Forschungsmethodik bietet es eine Grundlage für die Gewinnung vertiefter Einblicke in die antike Wirtschaftsgeschichte im Bereich der Metallgewinnung und Rohstoffdistribution.
