Acceptable Use Policy

Classics is the study of the languages and culture of Greco-Roman antiquity. Our collection is focused primarily on the resources of classical philology, including primary texts, commentaries and reference works. The recent arrival of the Milton V. Anastos Library of Byzantine Civilization (40,000 volumes) has significantly enhanced our holdings in this area.
