Classical Quarterly publishes articles on the literature, language, philosophy and history of ancient Greece and Rome (broadly conceived) down to approximately the end of the sixth century A.D.
The journal does not publish articles whose primary focus is on pedagogical topics or on post-classical receptions of antiquity.
The journal publishes articles relating to the history of scholarship after the end of classical antiquity only when they provide new insights into the ancient evidence under discussion.
CQ publishes research articles up to 12,000 words (inclusive of footnotes and abstract), though please note that this is a maximum, not a target. The journal welcomes shorter pieces, including very short ones (less than 1,000 words).
