Open Access Journal: Antichthon

Antichthon

ISSN: 0066-4774 (Print)

ISSN: 2056-8819 (Online)

 

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. 

See this FAQ for more information.
