About the Journal

Incidenza dell'Antico. Dialoghi di storia greca is a yearly academic journal on Greek history, its contemporary “comebacks”, and the history of Greek historiography. The journal publishes academic essays, critical notes, and review articles. English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish are the accepted languages. Incidenza dell'Antico is an annual scientific journal whose first issue was published in 2003 by the publisher Luciano (Naples). Over the years it has been published with continuity and regularity. Immediately included in the ANVUR classification of scientific journals, in Class A for the field of concurrences in Area 10, and accepted in international bibliographic databases, the journal limits its interest to just one of the "fields" that characterise Classical Antiquity: Greek history from the 2nd millennium BC to the Byzantine period. However, it does so in relation to earlier (the Near East), adjacent (from the Persian Empire to Rome, to name but a few) or later (Byzantium, Christianity, Islam) historical and cultural experiences, as well as to 'other' worlds (the non-Greek cultures of the Mediterranean basin). This stems from an awareness of the ways in which Greek history reflects such relationships, transposing and elaborating in various ways the cultural 'productions' of those who did not belong to Hellenikon. Incidenza dell'Antico is also attentive to the study of Greek history as the expression of a complex territorial reality, marked within it by marked differences at the economic, political, social and, in a broader sense, cultural levels: spheres, these, to all of which the review, with its relative approaches and research methods, intends to be open.  

In keeping with its name, the journal is also particularly interested in the impact that Greek history has had and continues to have on the political, artistic and cultural images of the cultures that have succeeded it, in Europe and beyond, and thus in worlds distant in time and/or space, which at different times and in different ways have wished to relate to the Greek world, to establish a link with it, to interpret it, to reproduce its experiences, almost never neutrally.
