- Roman archaeology in a time of global crisis
- Digital approaches to pedagogy, fieldwork, and data
- Health, medicine, and disease in the Roman world
- TRAC at 30 – retrospect and prospect in theoretical Roman archaeology
To publish a paper in TRAJ please submit a full article (5,000 – 10,000 words) via our online system.
We have extended the submission deadline for volume 4 to November 30th 2020.
