N. I. HERESCU, AN EXAMPLE OF A CLASSICIST’S RESUME

Summary/Abstract: The personality of N. I. Herescu is less known among today's classicists, unjustly, because he was a great professor of classical studies. His concerns were very diverse, as he was not only a professor of classical studies (carrying out research in the areas of the Latin language, Latin literature, literary criticism, translations of the Latin classics, Roman law, the history of ancient Rome, as well as Roman political sociology), but also a journalist, founder of classical collections and journals, and last but not least an initiator of an institution grouping all those who had concerns in the field of classical studies. The fundamental quality of N. I. Herescu is that of faber of classical culture through all his writings, through his initiated collections, and also by his inter-war didactic work. By the very amplitude of his personality, N. I. Herescu placed Romania on the important map of the Classical Studies of Europe and of the whole world, being a model for all of us, classicists or not.
