Areas of research

At the Latin Chair of Prof. Pausch, research is conducted on ancient historiography and Latin literature from the Late Republic to the 4^th century AD. The interdisciplinary cooperation within the framework of the Collaborative Research Center 1285 and the analysis of methodological innovations within classical philology receive particular attention. Another main research focus is the use of intended anachronisms in ancient literature, currently as part of a DFG research project.
