University of Hamburg
Historisches Seminar – Arbeitsbereich Alte Geschichte, Institut für Griechische und Lateinische Philologie, Archäologisches Institut
Profile of Classical Studies in Hamburg:
In the field of Ancient History the main focus lies on the history of Hellenism, the late Roman Republic and the Imperial Era, in particular the history of the Eastern provinces and the iberian peninsula; furthermore, on the digitalisation of Greek inscriptions in Asia Minor and of historical maps, and on the conceptual design and production of multi-medial knowledge transfers. In the field of Classical Philology, the main focus lies on the ancient theatre, Greco-Roman poetry, ancient science and philosophy, Indo-European studies, Byzantine and modern Greek, and Medieval and neo-Latin literatures, as well as, in connection with the Teuchos centre, manuscript studies, biblio-textual criticism and computer-assisted philological methods. Classical Archaeology is studied at the “Abteilung Archäologie und Kulturgeschichte des antiken Mittelmeerraumes” and is essentially context-oriented. One main focus is the acculturation processes between the Greco-Roman cultures and those of the Ancient Orient and Egypt. This type of archaeology, the so-called “Hamburg School,” is oriented socio-scientifically and anthropologically and includes semiotic, religio-sociological and iconological methods.

University of Münster
Seminar für Alte Geschichte
Profile
With its focus on Greco-Roman history, the Department of Ancient History offers a programme of study which enables students to receive an exceptionally broad historical education. Practical insight into research activities can be gained through the two affiliated research centres “Asia Minor” and “Historische Landeskunde des Antiken Griechenland” (Historical studies in ancient Greek culture) and through the cooperation with the German Archaeological Institutes in Athens and Istanbul, and the research centre “Inscriptiones Graecae” at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin-Brandenburg. Additionally, the department also participates in the “Zentrum für Geschichte und Kultur des östlichen Mittelmeerraumes” (Centre for Mediterranean History and Culture).
In Münster the Classical Archaeology and Christian Archaeology are closely linked in research and teaching. Focal points include image studies, archaeological fieldwork and religious studies. The research centre “Ancient Numismatics” also belongs to the teaching unit. The Archaeological Museum of the University of Münster not only offers direct visual and study material for courses, but also enables training in museum practice (inventory, interpretation, exhibition, restoration, didactics) in special courses.
The Classical Philology conveys, on the one hand, the complete indexing of Greek and Latin texts with regard to their literary-historical and stylistic-aesthetic qualities, and on the other hand, the contextualization of the culture of the Greek and Roman world. In Greek Philology there is a special focus on historiography, iambik and Platonism research, in Latin Studies on the field of ancient epic, Roman satire and its Middle Latin reception, Roman tragedy, ancient epigrams as well as Latin poetry of late antiquity and the Renaissance.
