The Journal of Ancient Architecture. 3/2024

«The Journal of Ancient Architecture» fills a gap in scholarly publications on the ancient world and architectural history by creating an international forum specifically designed for the discussion of the ancient built environment. This discussion ranges from the analysis of individual structures to the exploration of larger cross-cultural themes, but it is always expected to be informed by and contribute to a larger theoretical and methodological framework. As such, one of the goals of the Journal is to highlight not only the complexity of ancient architecture but also the varied theories and approaches that characterize the study of this diverse field. Geographically, the Journal centers on the ancient Mediterranean region, which is broadly defined, including Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. Chronologically, the Journal is primarily meant to cover its subject from the Bronze Age all the way up to Late Antiquity. Despite this focus, however, contributions pertaining to different geographical areas and periods are welcome, particularly if they are significant from a comparative perspective, in the first case, and are related to reception history, in the second. Articles may focus on individual buildings or urban environments, always framing the analysis within a larger historical perspective, or they may address larger issues that are core to the study of ancient architecture today, including architectural theory, specialized writing and depictions of architecture, architects, patronage, materials and techniques, functions, ancient and post-Antique reception, historic preservation, and historiography.
