As a publisher of specialist literature on history and antiquity, it is our concern to always offer an up-to-date range of publications, with more recent literature from the fields of linguistics, numismatics, archaeology, philology, industrial culture and legal history, among others.
In cooperation with authors, we promote the publication of revised and updated new editions. With historical and classical research from different countries and in multiple languages, we are transcending historical borders and bringing international experts together!
