What Are the Top Ancient Philosophy Journals?

It's hard to answer this question because ancient philosophers publish in arguably more places than any other field of philosophy: contemporary generalist journals, history of philosophy journals, ancient journals, author-specific journals, topic-specific journals, and that's only within the field of philosophy!

Wonderful articles on Plato, Aristotle, and other ancient figures can also be found in Classics journals, Religion journals, History journals, Comparative Literature journals, and more.

Focusing on Philosophy journals, this list provides the top twenty places ancient scholars tend to think about as good venues for their philosophical work.

(Note that im ignoring Classics journals, as well as author- and topic-specific venues like The Plato Journal and Episteme. Again, these are only philosophy journals!)

15 Good Journals for Publishing Articles in Ancient Philosophy

Entries with a star (*) are general journals that don’t publish much on ancient philosophy, but sometimes do publish articles, and when they do, they tend to be good.
