In the twentieth century, All Souls Classicists made many distinguished contributions to the field of Ancient History: P.M. Fraser, A.H.M. Jones, Arnaldo Momigliano, Peter Brown, and Fergus Millar all worked at the College. In the second half of the twentieth century, Ancient Philosophy and then Classical Philology became established as strengths of the College with J. N. Adams, Martin West, Myles Burnyeat, and Edward Hussey working at All Souls as Senior Research Fellows by the end of the century.
The current Fellows in Classics are engaged in research on Greek history and literature, Roman history and archaeology, and Latin linguistics and literature.
