Classics students have the possibility to consult holdings in the Institute of Ancient History and Epigraphy, the Institute of Classical Archaeology, the Seminar of Classical Philology or the University Library.
The Reading Room of the Institute of Ancient History and Epigraphy contains over 45,000 books and periodicals dealing with the ancient world, a full collection of Greek and Latin texts and commentaries, epigraphical collections, other basic resources, as well as comfortable places to work and study with other classicists.
Books not in the University system can generally be obtained quickly through interlibrary loan from the collections of other university libraries from Germany. The databases of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, the Library of Latin Texts, and several other electronic databases useful to the study of the Classics are accessible over the campus network.
