AI & Antiquity

Founded in 2025, AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies (ISSN 3081-4553) was established on the belief that Ancient Studies — encompassing History, Archaeology, Philology, and Art History — urgently needs a dedicated space for critical reflection on pedagogy, teaching practices, and the transformative role of digital technologies in education. In an academic landscape where research often takes precedence, this journal seeks to prioritize teaching as a fundamental, creative, and intellectual aspect of professional practice in the study of the ancient world.

The journal’s core mission is to foster meaningful dialogue among researchers, educators, and technologists exploring inclusive, active, and innovative pedagogical approaches to engaging with the past. As an online publication, AI & Antiquity serves as a dynamic space for sharing ideas and practices across disciplines and geographies. While artificial intelligence plays a central role in this conversation, the journal also embraces a wider range of digital tools—from virtual environments and data visualization to collaborative platforms and gamified learning strategies—all aimed at reshaping how we teach and learn about Antiquity in the 21st century.

An independent academic initiative edited by Carlos Heredia Chimeno (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona / Universitat Oberta de Catalunya), AI & Antiquity aspires to become a leading resource for those who see teaching not as a secondary duty, but as a vital act of knowledge production. Supported by the Area of Ancient History in the Department of Sciences of Antiquity and the Middle Ages at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the journal promotes innovative pedagogical experiences that address today’s educational challenges using tomorrow’s tools, helping to reimagine the role of Ancient Studies in contemporary society.

Backed by a distinguished editorial team and an international advisory board, AI & Antiquity guarantees academic excellence, interdisciplinary innovation, and global relevance in all its contributions.
