Bernhard Linke
Bernhard Linke (born March 7, 1961 in Berlin ) is a German ancient historian .
Bernhard Linke studied Ancient History and the minor subjects Modern History, Latin and French at the Free University of Berlin . Study visits took him to the Université III de Bordeaux and the RWTH Aachen . Linke received his doctorate in 1993 from the Free University of Berlin with a thesis on early Rome supervised by Walter Eder and Hartmut Galsterer . From 1993 to 2000 he was a research assistant to Martin Jehne at the Technical University of Dresden . In 2000 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Dresden , where he then worked as a senior assistant until 2004. After a substitute professor at the Technical University of Chemnitz, he taught there from 2004 to 2009 as a professor for antiquity and Europe. Linke has been teaching as a professor of ancient history at the Ruhr University in Bochum since 2009 . Linke has been co-editor of the Historia magazine since 2015 .
Linke mainly deals with religious worldviews in antiquity, assuming that religious systems of interpretation enable substantial insights into the fundamental structures of a society. For this he was able to present a basic introductory work. In connection with this, Linke also analyzes the emergence of European republicanism in antiquity, since despite the religious foundation of the Roman and Greek communities, a political culture could emerge that was hardly restricted by sacred norms.
In the area of Roman history, Linke also places a special focus on the topics of naval armament and maritime domination as well as territorialization and legal validity. A main focus of his research is on the end of the republican era, for which he published an introductory overview, as well as on the imperial period of ancient Rome .
