European Association of Ancient Economists
The European Association of Ancient Economists is a learned society connecting scholars of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Hellenistic and Late Antiquity studies, established to promote comparative research and pedagogical exchange among specialists from institutions such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Sapienza University of Rome and Humboldt University of Berlin. Its membership and activities intersect with research communities centered on texts like Aristotle's Politics, Xenophon, Polybius, Livy, Cicero and Diocletian's edict on maximum prices while engaging scholars affiliated with bodies including British Academy, Academia Europaea, Max Planck Society and European Research Council.
The association was founded in the 1990s by scholars trained in departments such as Institute for Advanced Study, King's College London, University of Amsterdam, University of Vienna and University of Bologna who had collaborative ties to projects at British School at Rome, American Academy in Rome, École Normale Supérieure and Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, with early conferences convened alongside meetings of the Classical Association (UK), Association pour l'encouragement des études grecques en France and sessions within International Congress of Classical Studies. Founding figures included academics who published on topics ranging from Herodotus and Thucydides to Seneca and Pliny the Elder, and who maintained networks crossing centers like École Française de Rome, Swiss Institute in Rome and German Archaeological Institute.
The association aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among specialists working on sources such as Ptolemy, Homer, Theophrastus, Plato, Strabo and Diodorus Siculus and to promote comparative methods drawn from research traditions at University of Chicago (Oriental Institute connections), Columbia University, Princeton University and Yale University. Objectives include supporting publication projects linked to presses like Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Brill, De Gruyter and Routledge, encouraging collaboration with museums such as British Museum, Louvre, Vatican Museums and National Archaeological Museum, Athens and facilitating cross-disciplinary exchange with institutes like Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Italian National Research Council and Deutsches Archäologisches Institut.
Membership is open to scholars affiliated with universities including Trinity College Dublin, University of Barcelona, Universität zu Köln, University of Leiden and University College London, as well as independent researchers associated with foundations like Römisch-Germanische Kommission, Fondazione Giorgio Cini and Gladstone's Library. Governance typically follows elected boards modeled on committees from Royal Historical Society, American Philological Association, International Association for Classical Archaeology and national academies such as Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres and Royal Society. Officers have included chairs drawn from faculties connected to University of St Andrews, University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, University of Milan and University of Strasbourg.
The association organizes biennial conferences and workshops hosted by institutions such as University of Athens, University of Padua, University of Zagreb, Charles University and University of Basel and sometimes co-sponsors meetings with International Network for the Study of the Classical Mediterranean and national organizations like Hellenic Society and Società Italiana di Studi Classici. Sessions often feature panels on topics addressed in works by Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero and Augustine of Hippo and attract keynote speakers from Princeton, Columbia, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley and Brown University.
The association supports edited volumes and special journal issues appearing with publishers and periodicals associated with Journal of Hellenic Studies, Classical Quarterly, Mnemosyne (journal), Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte and Papers of the British School at Rome, and encourages collaborative projects linked to research centers such as Centre for Hellenic Studies, Institute of Classical Studies (London), Fellowship of the British Academy programs, ERC Starting Grants and multi-institutional excavations sponsored by European Commission grants. It promotes methodological exchanges between scholars working on inscriptions in corpora like Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum and Inscriptiones Graecae, papyrology linked to Oxyrhynchus Papyri and numismatics connected to collections at British Museum, Bibliothèque nationale de France and American Numismatic Society.
The association awards travel grants, dissertation prizes and publication subsidies paralleling honors named after figures such as Theodore Mommsen, E. R. Dodds, F.M. Cornford and Mary Beard, and provides scholarships enabling study at institutes including British School at Athens, American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale and Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene. Prize committees have included members from Università di Pisa, University of Leiden, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, University of Cologne and University of Porto.
Collaborations extend to projects involving British Academy-funded networks, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions teams, and editorial partnerships with series edited at Cambridge University Press, Brill's Studies in Greek and Roman Antiquity, Oxford Classical Monographs and Leiden Classical Studies, influencing scholarship on topics from agrarian law in Lex Hortensia debates to fiscal policies in Diocletian's reign, and feeding into curricula at departments such as University of Leiden, University of Oxford, Université Libre de Bruxelles and Charles University in Prague. The association's work has contributed to reinterpretations of economic aspects in texts by Herodotus, Thucydides, Polybius, Cicero and Seneca, and has shaped archival and museum collaborations with institutions like Vatican Library, Bodleian Library and Bibliothèque nationale de France to broaden access to primary sources.
