Submissions

Author Guidelines

- We accept articles, critical review articles and translations of texts from Classical Antiquity.

- Manuscripts may be written in Portuguese, Latin, Spanish, Italian, French, English or German.

- Quotations in languages that do not use the Latin alphabet should preferably be transliterated; however, if Greek characters must be used, please use the New Athena Unicode or S-Greek fonts.

- Manuscripts should be submitted in their final version, after revision and formatting using double spacing, A4 paper size, and the Times New Roman font (12 point).

- Each paper should be accompanied by two abstracts of up to 200 (two hundred) words, one in English and the other in the paper’s original language, highlighting the keywords.

-The following rules should be observed:

1. Citations of other works in the body of your text should include the author’s last name in upper case, followed by a comma, and the number of the page or pages in question, as per the following example: (VEYNE, 1988, p. 52).  Use “pp.” for more than one page.

2. In your reference list  ̶  never “bibliography” ̶ , you should follow the rules below:

 a) BOOKS

The author’s last name comes first, in upper case, followed by his/her initial(s), the year of publication between brackets, the book’s title in italics, the city, a colon, and the publisher’s name, as in the example below:

GALE, M. (2000). Virgil on the nature of things: the Georgics, Lucretius and the didactic tradition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

If there is more than one author, names should be separated by semi-colons:

 GRAFTON, A.; MOST, Glenn W.; SETTIS, S. (2010). The classical tradition. Cambridge, MA./London: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.

Citations of Master’s theses or Doctoral dissertations should follow the same guidelines for the citation of books.

 b) BOOK CHAPTERS

For book chapters, the chapter’s title is not written between quotation marks and it is followed by a period. After the period, the publication’s title is introduced by In, followed by a colon:

HOLZBERG, N. (2006). Playing with his life: Ovid’s ‘autobiographical’ references. In: KNOX, P. (ed.).Oxford readings in Ovid. Oxford: Oxford University, pp. 51-68.

C) ARTICLES

With respect to journal articles, the title should be in italics, followed by a comma, n. (followed by the journal’s number) and, finally, p. or pp. preceding the pages. Please see the example below:

TREVIZAM, M. (Jul.-Dec. 2009). Maravilhamento ou apreensão no encômio da Itália? O segundo livro das Geórgicas de Virgílio. Literatura e autoritarismo, n. 14, pp. 108-124.

3. We recommend following the Année Philologique conventions, available at http://www.annee-philologique.com/files/sigles_fr.pdf, to abbreviate journal names. In order to abbreviate the names of Classical Antiquity authors and works, we recommend following the Oxford Classical Dictionary (OLD) conventions for Latin names, and Liddell & Scott’s Lexicon conventions for Greek names.
