Faculty of Classics
The Faculty Board of Classics, with 2 sub-faculties (Ancient History and Classical Archaeology, Classical Languages and Literature). The Board and the sub-faculties have elected chairs, who serve for short periods (2 or 3 years). Philosophy is now a separate Faculty; philosophers with interests in ancient philosophy are also members of the Classics Faculty and are included here.
