About us

Founded in 1995 and featuring a catalogue of over 400 publications, Ausonius Editions has gained widespread recognition among the French and international academic community, as well as from a broader audience of readers curious about the past. Ausonius Editions specializes in the research fields of the Ausonius research centre: history, literature, archaeology, art history and the reception of Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Around twenty collections on a variety of themes feature monographs, theses, conference proceedings and collective works, epigraphic and numismatic corpora, atlases, exhibition catalogues and promotional works written or edited by French and foreign researchers. Books are sold directly (either on site or via the Ausonius Editions website) and distributed in France and abroad by AFPU-Diffusion.

The creation of the un@ platform in 2019, which brings together several presses from universities of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, has allowed Ausonius Editions to contribute to the development of open-access research. Five of our own collections and several multi-press collections feature open-access digital books, available only in digital format, which are attracting an ever-growing audience in France and abroad.
