Introduction

The academic study of ancient Greece and Rome extends from before the classical period into late antiquity (roughly mid-second millennium BCE to the mid-6th century CE) , and includes a vast and interdisciplinary body of information that includes history, archaeology, art, language, literature, religion, and philosophy. Some Classicists also study the reception of Greek and Latin cultures in later periods, such as the Renaissance or Enlightenment, or by cultures other than European.  The collections and resources for Classics at Brown will also be of interest to readers in other departments and programs such as Religious Studies, Philosophy,  the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, Medieval Studies, and Renaissance & Early Modern Studies. Conversely, researchers interested in Classical studies may find it useful to look at the guides for those subjects as well.
