List of well-known ancient historians
This list collects ancient historians who have completed their habilitation in this subject, are particularly relevant as specialist authors, or have made other significant contributions to ancient history . Since ancient history emerged from classical philology in the 19th century , there are also various classical scholars who have distinguished themselves in the field of ancient history. In the Anglo-American region in particular, the boundaries between ancient philology and ancient history are still very blurred. There are also close relationships with Classical Archeology and various auxiliary sciences and related disciplines such as numismatics , epigraphy , papyrology , Byzantine studies , Roman provincial archeology , history of philosophy, religion and law.
