Gephyra – A Journal for the Ancient History and Cultures of the Greek and Roman World aims to provide an open-access scholarly platform for original research on the ancient Greek and Roman world up to the sixth century AD. The journal seeks to publish studies that advance our understanding of antiquity by offering new interpretations of historical, geographical, social, cultural, economic, administrative, and institutional phenomena, grounded in the critical use of primary source material.

The scope of Gephyra encompasses all fields of research related to the ancient Greek and Roman world, with particular emphasis on studies that employ, analyse, or reassess epigraphic, philological, numismatic, and papyrological evidence. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, issues of political organisation, social structures, cultural practices, economic systems, religious life, administration, and regional or supra-regional interactions. Manuscripts are expected to engage substantively with one or more of these categories of primary material; submissions that do not meet this requirement will not be considered for evaluation.
