Write for our student blog
Passionate about classics? Think you could be the next Homer? Write for The Rostra, our student blog for young classicists aged 16 to 25.
Inspired by the 'rostra' of ancient Rome, where orators addressed the Forum, our blog offers a unique platform for showcasing your writing.
This year, we have a fresh approach to submissions. We'll be calling for themed submissions to keep you inspired year-round!
Submissions for our first theme, 'Your favourite classical figure,' are officially CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who submitted an abstract. We're currently reviewing submissions and we'll be in touch soon with the outcomes.
