Minerva Magazine

Minerva was an international magazine devoted to ancient art, archaeology, and the cultures of the past. Published every two months for more than 30 years, it explored new discoveries, historical research, and the stories behind ancient objects and sites, while considering how earlier cultures continue to inspire people today. Its features covered a wide range of subjects, including the diverse religions of Dura-Europos, the rulers of the ancient world, Knossos, Pompeii, Enheduanna, the Phoenix Kingdoms, and the archaeology of Spiro. The magazine also presented regular issues showcasing discoveries and scholarship from across different regions and periods.

Minerva has ceased publication, and no new issues or subscriptions are available. Readers can still purchase recent back issues through the magazine’s shop. The final issue, July/August 2023, was made available to read free of charge. Minerva’s website also directs readers to The Past, where they can find a link to that issue. As a publication of Current Publishing Ltd, Minerva offered accessible coverage of ancient history for readers interested in archaeology and the enduring legacy of past civilizations.
