Classics Research PhD

King's College London, University of London

We supervise research across an exceptionally wide range of topics in Greek, Roman and Near Eastern history, archaeology and art, as well as Greek and Latin literature and thought, ancient languages, and reception studies.Other areas of activity we have been developing include Neo Latin, Roman mosaics and mosaicists, ancient religion, disability studies and Greek theatre and performance. We have successful ongoing research projects in collaboration with the College's Department of Digital Humanities and the British Museum. We also work with the Centre for Hellenic Studies, which combines the resources of Classics and Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies in organising major public lectures by leading scholars, international conferences, workshops and seminars.We have a strong record of attracting major research grants. In recent years the Department received funding from the AHRC, the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust for major projects including Digitising the Prosopography of the Roman Republic, The Art of Making in Antiquity: Stone Carving and Carvers in the Roman World, Ancient Inscriptions of the Black Sea Region, and Classics & Class.
