These guidelines define the main editorial conventions adopted by the Cahiers du Centre Gustave Glotz. They complement the general editorial guidelines of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari, available in Italian and English:

Italian version | English version

Each contribution must follow the linguistic and typographical conventions of the language in which it is written, as well as the scholarly conventions of Classical Studies.

I. Composition of the text

Preparing the manuscript: contributions must be submitted in Word format (.docx). Formatting should be simple and consistent. Avoid small capitals, special styles and any unnecessary formatting. Bold type should be used primarily for headings.

The text must be divided into numbered sections, following a consistent hierarchy: 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, etc. Avoid headings written entirely in capital letters.

Each contribution must include a title, the name of the author and, where applicable, any co-authors, their institutional affiliations and email addresses, an abstract in English (maximum 650 characters, including spaces) and at least five keywords in English. Keywords must be separated by full stops and end with a full stop.

Dates, numbers and measurements

In English-language contributions, centuries must be written out in words rather than expressed in Roman or Arabic numerals.

Examples: the second century BCE; the fourth century CE; the nineteenth century.

Either BC/AD or BCE/CE may be used, provided that the chosen system is applied consistently throughout the contribution. Decades are expressed as follows: the 1960s.

Contributions written in other languages must follow the conventions appropriate to those languages.

Page ranges must be abbreviated by omitting digits that remain unchanged, except for numbers between 11 and 19.

Examples: 121-9; 334-7; 11-19; 213-18.

Historical dates, chronological ranges and units of measurement must be presented consistently throughout the contribution.

Quotations in the text

Short quotations are incorporated into the running text using quotation marks appropriate to the language of the contribution. Long quotations, exceeding two lines, must be:

• presented without quotation marks;
• separated from the main text by a blank line before and after;
• indented from the main text;
• ended with a full stop.

For quotations within quotations, follow the conventions of the language in which the contribution is written.

Quotations from ancient sources should, wherever possible, be provided in their original language. Latin quotations are italicised, while Greek quotations retain their original alphabet. Epigraphic transcriptions follow the conventions of the edition used.

When a quotation is accompanied by a translation, the source of the translation must be specified. For translations prepared by the author of the contribution, use the indication “author’s translation” or its equivalent in the language of the text.

Omissions introduced into a quotation are indicated by […]. They must be distinguished from lacunae in the original document. All editorial interventions must be clearly identifiable.

Foreign words and transliterations

Latin words, transliterated Greek terms and other foreign expressions not integrated into the language of the contribution are normally italicised. Greek terms written in the Greek alphabet retain their original spelling.

Where a translation or explanation is necessary, it should be placed in parentheses immediately after the term.

Titles

The titles of books, journals, literary works and other independent publications are italicised. The titles of articles, chapters and contributions to edited volumes are enclosed in quotation marks in the bibliography.

Official titles of research projects, corpora and databases must be reproduced in their original form, preserving capitalisation and other relevant features of their names.

II. Bibliographic references

Footnotes

All bibliographic references to modern scholarship, including short references, must be placed in footnotes rather than in the main text. They follow the abbreviated author–date system, with relevant page numbers where necessary.

This rule also applies when a scholar or a study is mentioned in the main text: the corresponding bibliographic details must be provided in a footnote.

Direct references to ancient sources, inscriptions, papyri, coins or other documents under discussion may appear in the main text when they form part of the analysis. The source of a translation may also be identified immediately after the quotation.

Footnote markers are placed after punctuation marks. Footnotes are numbered consecutively and should be used for documentary references, bibliographic details and supplementary discussion.

Avoid repeating full bibliographic references in footnotes when the corresponding entries are already included in the final bibliography.

Internal cross-references should refer to stable elements of the text (sections, paragraphs, footnote numbers), rather than page numbers that may change during typesetting.

Abbreviated bibliographic references

In footnotes, give the author's surname, year of publication and, where necessary, the relevant page numbers, preceded by a comma, without using the abbreviations “p.” or “pp.”.

Examples:

• Gnoli 2000a, 92-9
• Crawford 1974, 513-18
• Assenmaker 2012, 111-42
• Pina Polo, Díaz Fernández 2019 [two co-authors]
• Rossi, Bianchi, Verdi 2010 [three co-authors]
• Rossi et al. 2010 [more than three authors]
• Hollstein 2016a; 2016b [several publications by the same author in the same year]
• Hansen 1993; 2001 [several publications by the same author in different years]

When a scholar's name forms part of a sentence, the corresponding bibliographic reference must still be placed in a footnote.

Separate different references with semicolons. Authors of the same publication are separated by commas.

Avoid references such as ibid., op. cit., loc. cit. or idem when the abbreviated reference can be repeated without ambiguity.

When the complete page range of an article is already given in the final bibliography, the abbreviated reference should indicate only the specific pages being cited.

References to ancient authors and works

Classical authors and their works are cited in abbreviated form, following the abbreviations of the Oxford Classical Dictionary (OCD).

The abbreviations can be consulted here: Oxford Classical Dictionary – Abbreviations.

The author's name is set in roman type; the abbreviated title of the work is italicised. Divisions of the work (books, chapters, paragraphs, verses) are indicated by numbers separated by full stops.

Examples:

• Cic. QFr. 1.1.34
• Cic. Fam. 12.15
• Plut. Brut. 34.1
• Dio Cass. 47.25.2
• Plin. HN 5.29.9

When a particular edition or translation is used, it must be identifiable in the final bibliography. Bibliographic references to modern editions or translations follow the author–date system and are placed in footnotes, using the name of the editor or translator.

A consistent system for books, chapters, paragraphs and verses must be maintained throughout the contribution.

Epigraphic, papyrological and numismatic sources

Inscriptions, papyri, coins and other ancient documents are cited using the conventional abbreviations of scholarly corpora and reference works, specifying the numbers needed to identify each document.

Examples:

• CIL VIII, 26524
• AE 2012, 1882
• IG XV.2.1
• RRC 500/1
• RRC 505/3

Abbreviations of corpora must be used consistently. Where an abbreviation is not widely recognised, its full form should be provided in a list of abbreviations.

Epigraphic transcriptions must follow the scholarly conventions of the edition used. Restorations, lacunae, uncertain letters, diacritical marks and line divisions must be reproduced faithfully.

For documents held in museums, archives or collections, indicate the institution where they are preserved and, where available, the inventory number.

Final bibliography

The bibliography is placed at the end of each contribution. It must include complete references for all publications cited, including editions and translations of ancient sources.

Entries are arranged alphabetically by the author's surname and then by year of publication, from the earliest to the most recent. For several publications by the same author in the same year, add the letters a, b, c, etc.

Each bibliographic entry must include:

• the surname of the author or editor, followed by the initials of the first name;
• the year of publication in parentheses;
• the title and subtitle, separated by a full stop;
• the volume number and its title, for multivolume publications;
• the place of publication, without the publisher's name;
• the volume and issue numbers for periodicals;
• page ranges for journal articles and contributions to edited volumes;
• the series or collection, where relevant;
• the DOI or URL, where the publication is available online.

Monographs

The title and subtitle of the book are italicised. The place of publication follows the title, without the publisher's name.

Examples:

• Mócsy, A. (1974). Pannonia and Upper Moesia. A History of the Middle Danube Provinces of the Roman Empire. London.
• Berthelet, Y. (2015). Gouverner avec les dieux. Autorité, auspices et pouvoir, sous la République romaine et sous Auguste. Paris.
• Crawford, M. (1974). Roman Republican Coinage, vol. 2. Cambridge.

Journal articles

The title of the article is enclosed in quotation marks appropriate to the language of the contribution. The title of the journal is italicised, followed by the volume number, the issue number in parentheses where applicable, and the page range.

Examples:

• Assenmaker, P. (2012). « Nouvelles perspectives sur le titre d’imperator et l’appellatio imperatoria sous la République ». RBPh, 90(1), 111-42.
• Mattingly, H.B. (1948). « Eid Mar ». AC, 17(1), 445-51.
• Stewart, R. (1997). « The Jug and Lituus on Roman Republican Coin Types: Ritual Symbols and Political Power ». Phoenix, 51(2), 170-89.

The examples reproduce the bibliographic conventions of French-language contributions. Quotation marks should be adapted to the language in which the contribution is written.

Abbreviations of journal titles must be used consistently and must be identifiable in the bibliography.

Contributions to edited volumes

The title of the contribution is enclosed in quotation marks appropriate to the language of the contribution. After a full stop, give the names of the editors and their role, followed by the title of the edited volume in italics, the place of publication and the page range of the contribution.

Examples:

• Assenmaker, P. (2021). « Neptune dans le panthéon d’Imperator Caesar : de l’art de récupérer un dieu hostile ». Berthelet, Y.; Van Haeperen, F. (éds), Dieux de Rome et du monde romain en réseaux. Bordeaux, 181-209. https://doi.org/10.4000/books.ausonius.16563
• de Méritens de Villeneuve, G. (2021). « La communication de Sextus Pompée en Sicile : examen croisé des inscriptions de Lilybée et de la série monétaire RRC 511 ». Segenni, S.; Bellomo, M. (a cura di), Epigrafia e politica. Vol. 2, Documenti e iscrizioni per lo studio di Roma repubblicana. Milano, 217-38.

The role of the editors is indicated in the language of the publication: (éd.), (éds), (ed.), (eds), (Hrsg.), (a cura di), etc.

For conference proceedings, also indicate the place and date of the conference when these form part of the bibliographic details of the volume.

Editions and translations of ancient sources

Editions and translations cited must be identified under the name of their editor or translator, in accordance with the referencing system adopted in the text.

Examples:

• Chambry, É.; Flacelière, R. (éds) (1978). Plutarque. Vies. Tome XIV. Dion – Brutus. Paris.
• Fromentin, V.; Bertrand, E. (éds) (2014). Dion Cassius. Histoire romaine. Livre 47. Paris.
• Ozanam, A.-M. (trad.) (2002). Plutarque. Vies parallèles. Paris.

Modern translations of ancient works must be cited by identifying the translation actually used. Where it is necessary to distinguish between different editions or translations, provide all the information required for their identification.

Multivolume works and series

For multivolume publications, indicate the number of the volume consulted and, where applicable, its individual title. Series or collection information is placed at the end of the bibliographic reference.

Examples:

• Cogitore, I. (2011). Le doux nom de liberté. Histoire d’une idée politique dans la Rome antique. Pessac. Scripta Antiqua 31.
• Heller, A.; Pont, A.-V. (éds) (2012). Patrie d’origine et patries électives. Les citoyennetés multiples dans le monde grec d’époque romaine = Actes du colloque international de Tours (6-7 novembre 2009). Bordeaux. Scripta Antiqua 40.

Electronic publications

For publications available online, provide the DOI whenever one exists, preferably as a complete link in the form https://doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxxx.

If no DOI is available, provide a stable URL giving access to the publication. DOIs can be searched and verified using Crossref.

Examples:

• Arena, V. (2012). Libertas and the Practice of Politics in the Late Roman Republic. Cambridge. https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139235754
• Berthelet, Y. (2013). « La crosse et la cruche. Symboles de légitimité de l’imperium ou symboles de l’augurat ? ». Cah. « Mondes Anc. », 4. https://doi.org/10.4000/mondesanciens.1037
• Koehn, C. (2010). « Pompeius, Cassius und Augustus: Bemerkungen zum imperium maius ». Chiron, 40, 301-22. https://doi.org/10.34780/ednc-9uf2

All links must be checked before submission.

III. Figure and table captions

Figures and tables must be numbered separately and consecutively. Each item must be referred to in the text where it is discussed, using a reference in square brackets.

Examples: [fig. 1]; [tab. 2].

Captions must allow the reader to understand and identify the document reproduced. Depending on the nature of the document, they should include the relevant information: identification, provenance, place of conservation, inventory number, source and photographic credits.

Examples:

• Figure 1 Revers de l’émission RRC 500/7 (BnF REP-13199)
• Figure 2 En haut, aureus de César (RRC 456, BnF REP-21401) ; en bas, aureus de Brutus (RRC 500/6, BnF REP-21411)
• Tableau 1 Les datations du monnayage de Brutus et Cassius proposées par B. Woytek et R. Laignoux

These examples are taken from contributions published in French. Captions should follow the language of the contribution. Captions must not end with a full stop.

For inscriptions, coins, manuscripts and archaeological objects, provide references to the relevant corpora, collections or institutions where these are necessary for identification. Photographic sources and any copyright notices must also be indicated.

IV. Figures

Images must be inserted into the Word manuscript at approximately the point where they are discussed and must also be supplied as separate files.

Files intended for publication must be of high quality, preferably in TIFF format, in colour or greyscale depending on the nature of the document, with a resolution of at least 300 ppi at the intended reproduction size.

Files must be numbered consistently with the references in the text and their captions.

Authors must ensure that they hold the necessary rights to reproduce the documents and provide the relevant permissions where required. Any restrictions on use must be reported to the editorial office.

To ensure the accessibility of digital publications, each informative image must be accompanied by alternative text (alt text). This should provide a brief, objective description of the image's content without repeating information already given in the caption.
