Hermes, founded in 1866, is an international peer-reviewed journal, focusing on classical philology. It also features articles on Greek and Roman history, archaeology, epigraphy and numismatics. One of the oldest German journals of its kind, it was founded by Theodor Mommsen, Adolf Kirchhoff and Rudolf Hercher. The original editor was Emil Hübner. Today Hermes is edited by Siegmar Döpp, Karl-Joachim Hölkeskamp and Adolf Köhnken and contains original articles in German, English, French and Italian.

Franz Steiner is one of Germany's most prominent academic publishing houses. Our focal point is ancient history, but also social and economic history, as well as history of science; furthermore regional studies, Eastern European history and transatlantic studies. We oversee more than 150 serial publications as well as 28 periodicals and publish such renowned series as Historia, Hermes and Archiv für Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie. We only publish those projects which proved their academic value in external anonymous peer assessments.
