Jacques Moreau (historian)
Jacques Moreau (born September 12, 1918 in Lodelinsart, today in Charleroi , Belgium, † September 23, 1961 near Ankara ) was a Belgian ancient historian .
From 1935 he studied at the Free University in Brussels, among others with Henri Grégoire , Roger Goossens and Claire Préaux . After an exam in classical philology in 1939, he was assistant to Gregoire and a teacher at a grammar school. From 1950 he taught ancient history at the Saarland University , where he became an adjunct professor in 1951 and a full professor in 1953. In 1960 he accepted a chair at the University of Heidelberg . He died the following year with his colleague Hans Schaefer and eight young scientists in a plane crash during an excursion.
Moreau was particularly concerned with ancient Christianity (so he wrote a commentary on lactance ). He was a member of the Société Nationale des Antiquaires in France, the German Archaeological Institute and co-editor of the Lexicon of the Old World .
