Historia
The Societry for the Promotion of Roman Studies, generally known as the Roman Society, was formed in 1910, to advance the study of the history, archaeology and art of Italy and the Roman Empire from thew eariest times down to about AD 700. It is the sister society of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, founded in 1879.
The Society publishes two journals, the Journal of Roman Studies, first published in 1911, which contains articles and book reviews dealing with the Roman world in general, and Britannia, first published in 1970, which has articles and reviews specifically on Roman Britain, and two associated series of monographs.
The Society is established, together with the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies in the premises of the Institute of Classical Studies of the University of London. The Society helps to maintain a Joint Library, of around 100,000 volumes and over 540 current periodicals, in conjunction with the Hellenic Society and the Institute of Classical Studies.
