Ever since its foundation, The Institute for the History of Ancient Civilizations (IHAC) has been a trendsetter with regard to the studies of ancient civilizations. Established in 1984 by Professor Lin Zhichun, it has become the cradle of Altertumswissenschaften in China with its special focus on, and education in, the analysis and interpretation of ancient materials. Under the current director and honorandus Professor Dr Zhang Qiang, IHAC, and Classics in particular, has advanced its research and teaching focus by developing expertise in all auxiliary sciences of history, particularly epigraphy and numismatics with special emphasis on legal, economic and socio-political aspects of Greco-Roman times. On occasion of the 35th anniversary of the foundation of IHAC and Professor Zhang’s 60th birthday who has worked intensively on historiography and epigraphy, we want to take a look at current developments in ancient source studies and especially auxiliary sciences of history, to promote discussion about the future perspective of IHAC’s hallmark, in China and the world.
