CICERONIANA ON LINE (COL) is a biannual digital journal; its two issues each year are considered part of a single volume, but are given separate numeration (e.g. 2017.1 or 2017.2). It is edited jointly by SIAC (Société Internationale des Amis de Cicéron (www.tulliana.eu) and by the CSC (Centro di Studi Ciceroniani in Rome) and welcomes submissions on Cicero, as well as on topics that fall in the category of Roman Thought. Papers falling in the category of Roman Thought should concern texts that in their content or in the conditions of their production have a close or a distant link to Roman philosophy or its Forleben. Papers on Cicero may address his various guises, i.e. as a historical figure, author, philosopher, and human being, including his works, sources, and afterlife. Papers from all disciplines and approaches are accepted; these include philology, linguistics, literary history, exegesis, rhetoric, source-criticism (Quellenforschung), philosophy, archaeology and art history, history, prosopography, religious studies, psychology, allusion and intertextuality, genre studies, gender studies, anthropology, reception, didactics, new media, digitalization etc. Since 2026 the new Director is Ermanno Malaspina; Carlos Lévy is Honorary Director and Veronica Revello is Executive Director. The Bureau is made up of Prof. Codoner and Prof. Gamberale. The Advisory Board evaluates on a case by case basis whether each article submitted fits in with the overall specifications of the journal. The scholarly board may decide to further increase or decrease its composition; the admission of new members to the board takes place every three years by cooptation. The journal also publishes reviews and bibliographic records, under the direction of Francesca Piccioni, with the assistance of Matilde Oliva. COL has appointed an Editorial Committee, which is the point of contact with contributors to the journal and is responsible for matters of an editorial nature. Between 2014 and 2016, the Committee was formed by Alice Borgna, Linda Cermatori, Barbara Del Giovane, and Mélanie Lucciano (overseeing the preparation, scanning, uploading, OCR and formatting of the previous printed series of Ciceroniana, the last volume of which was issued in 2009); also Andrea Balbo (2017-2023), Franck Colotte (2017-2024), Elisa Della Calce (2017-2019), Nathan Gilbert (2017-2018) and Hugh Wynne (2020-2021) have been members of the Editorial Committee. The current Committee is formed by Orazio Capp
