The Classical Press of Wales

The Classical Press of Wales, an independent venture, was founded in 1993 - initially to support the work of classicists and ancient historians in Wales, and their collaborators from further afield. It now publishes work initiated by scholars internationally, and welcomes contributions from all parts of the world. Since 2003 CPW has included Egyptology in its list of specialisms. CPW has a commitment to clear writing and to traditional forms of argument. All our books are read and sub-edited by the General Editor and founder of the Press, Anton Powell. They are produced to be elegant and to last. Most are printed on fine-blade cartridge paper, and sewing is used in the binding. Our books are also noted for their layout and typography, which have been the responsibility of Ernest Buckley, M.A, B.Litt, ably succeded by Louise Jones of Gomer Press.
