Founded in 1979 by the Dipartimento di Studi del Mondo Classico e del Mediterraneo Antico, AION Sezione filologico-letteraria is currently published on behalf of the Dipartimento di Asia, Africa e Mediterraneo of the Università di Napoli "l'Orientale".
AION publishes articles in the field of philology, literature, and history of Greek and Latin culture and its transmission throughout the centuries.
The publications of the journal are preferably characterised by a multidisciplinary perspective and/or a focus on the study of the interactions between Graeco-Roman culture and the other cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the exploitation of data from archaeological disciplines and the study of iconographic sources. The journal especially welcomes studies with an anthropological approach to the study of Greek and Latin cultures and/or a focus on the relationship between oral tradition and literature.
AION purports to facilitate cooperation among scholars of all the fields related to the ancient world and to disseminate their research results. The journal is aimed at academic readers, libraries, and cultural institutions interested in the ancient world. It accepts articles in English, French, German, and Italian.
