Cultural Studies & Classical Studies

As a critical journal for the entire field of classical studies, GNOMON fosters the connection between the various disciplines of classical studies. It thus occupies a special position among review instruments and offers the possibility of finding out about important research and publications also in the neighboring fields of one's own discipline. The reviews in GNOMON are addressed to an international audience coming from all subfields of classical studies. The languages of publication in the GNOMON are: German, English, French, Italian, and Latin.

In the year of its 100th anniversary, Gnomon will adjust its publication schedule and, starting in 2025, will be published quarterly in February, May, August, and November. Additionally, the Bibliographische Beilage, which has previously been issued four times per year, will from now on only be available online through the new Gnomon website at www.gnomon.uni-bonn.de. The pages thereby made available will be redistributed across the four annual issues, allowing more space for an increased number of reviews.

Review guidelines
Reviews are generally by invitation of the editors only. Please direct inquiries to gnomon@uni-bonn.de.

Every review in the GNOMON should serve the purpose of giving a clear picture of the contents of the book, comprehensible even to those who have not read the book themselves and do not know the problem treated from their own experience. The scientific character of the review will often require the criticism of particular aspects of the work under review; the merely specific, however, should not predominate and should not be used so much for its own sake as to illustrate the method and result of the book. All that is specific should be offered separately from that which is generally significant, in a clear outline. The GNOMON attaches importance to an easily readable, linguistically accurate presentation. Your own productive and further reflections on the subject of the reviewed work are highly welcome.

Offa is named after a legendary king of the Anglo-Saxons reigning over part of Schleswig-Holstein, who was praised for his braveness and wisdom. The early volumes of Offa, which started in 1936, mainly published articles on local Archaeology, but already showing a wide chronological range from Prehistory to the Middle Ages. Archaeology being a trans-regional science, in the course of time numerous scholars from Scandinavia, Western, Central and Eastern Europe presented their results of research.

Today Offa is a renowned international archaeological periodical. Before publication all contributions are peer-reviewed. The articles are published in German or English, with a short summary in both languages. For further information please go to www.offa.nomos.de.
