We invite submissions of articles (max. 10,000 words) for TALANTA. We welcome papers on the history and archaeology of the Mediterranean (including Roman provincial archaeology), the Near East, the Black Sea region, Iran and Central Asia, as well as East-West relations between and across them, from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. We encourage contributions that emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research and particularly welcome papers that explore intersections of archaeological and historical studies, as well as those that critically interact with social and archaeological theory.

The journal publishes articles in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, although preference is given to articles in English.

Papers received for consideration will first be assessed by the editorial board. Submissions that are deemed suitable for TALANTA will be sent to two external peer-reviewers. Based on their reviews, the editors of TALANTA will then decide whether to accept or reject the submitted paper for publication.
