Institut des sciences et techniques de l'Antiquité (ISTA)
Editor: Antonio Gonzales
ISTA has set up a multi-thematic collection (slavery and dependence, religions, techniques, societies and cultures, philology, literature, archaeology, etc.) in line with its research orientations. This collection welcomes and disseminates the work of French and foreign researchers, in the same way as the journal Dialogues d'histoire ancienne (DHA). The collection has an editorial committee made up of the head of the collection, the heads of the research areas and the editorial manager. Works proposed for publication are examined by the committee and sent to a minimum of two experts for their scientific opinion.
Books in the collection are also available in digital format, either on Persée or on OpenEdition Books.
