Some New Work on Roman Sarcophagi

About this book

Millennium ĂŒberschreitet Grenzen, Grenzen zwischen den Epochen und regionalen RĂ€umen wie auch Grenzen zwischen den Disziplinen. Die Schriftenreihe Millennium-Studien ist, genauso wie das Jahrbuch, international, interdisziplinĂ€r und epochenĂŒbergreifend ausgerichtet. Das Herausgebergremium und der Beirat reprĂ€sentieren ein breites Spektrum von FĂ€chern: Kunst- und literaturwissenschaftliche BeitrĂ€ge kommen ebenso zu ihrem Recht wie historische, theologische und philosophische, Arbeiten zu den lateinischen und griechischen Kulturen genauso wie zu den nordafrikanischen und vorderasiatischen.

In die Studien finden einschlÀgige Monographien und Sammelwerke aus dem gesamten Themenspektrum Aufnahme, zudem Kommentare und Editionen. Publikationssprachen sind vornehmlich Deutsch und Englisch; die Aufnahme französischer, italienischer und spanischer Arbeiten ist möglich.
