## History

The publication of the first volume of *Acta Classica* coincided with the retirement of Professor T. J. Haarhoff from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1958. The editorial committee was made up by Prof. F. Smuts (Stellenbosch University), [Prof. G. P. Goold](/source/George_Patrick_Goold) (University of Manitoba; formerly University of Cape Town), Prof. G. van N. Viljoen (University of South Africa), Dr. C. P. T. Naude (University of Witwatersrand), Dr. P. L. Nicolaides (Johannesburg), and Mr. B. L. Hijmans (University of Cape Town). The journal superseded the short-lived *Proceedings and Selected Papers of the Classical Association of South Africa*, of which only two volumes were produced: First Issue: 1927-1929 and Second Issue: 1929–1931.

Previous editors of the journal: Frans Smuts (1958); [Gerrit Viljoen](/source/Gerrit_Viljoen) (1959–1966); Henri Gonin (1967–1984); [Ursula Vogel-Weidemann](/source/Ursula_Vogel-Weidemann) (1985–1996); William Henderson (1997–2004); Louise Cilliers (2005–2009); [David Wardle](/source/David_Wardle) (2010–2012); John Hilton (2013-2022); and Martine de Marre (2022-present).
