A Journal 'devoted to the thought, literature and history of the ancient world, and to their tradition', published by the Department of Classics and the Department of Philosophy in the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Prudentia is an informative and interesting journal which is published twice a year, in May and November. It contains original articles on topics related to the study of the ancient world by scholars involved in the historical and literary research of the period. The articles are of interest to students of the ancient world, and to teachers involved in the Classical Studies programme in secondary schools in New Zealand, and of course to all who are involved with topics related to the ancient world at tertiary level. There are many book reviews in each issue, so that Prudentia provides a useful resource for those who want to keep up to date in the field.

Prudentia was founded in 1969 by Gavin Ardley of the Philosophy Department and B F Harris of the Classics Department of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The journal continues to be a joint publication of the two Departments.

Important message from the Editorial Board - Posted December 2007:

"Prudentia has been running behind schedule, but issues 37.1&2 (a double volume) and 38.1 will appear in early 2008. 

The editorial board would now therefore like to invite article submissions for subsequent volumes.
Subjects of interest include the thought, literature and history of ancient Greece and Rome, Egyptology and the Classical tradition.
