Emerging methodologies in digital epigraphy are gaining traction, allowing for more detailed analyses and interpretations of inscriptions and artifacts, thus enhancing our understanding of ancient cultures. - Communication and Politeness in Ancient Texts:

Papers addressing the geographical and environmental contexts of ancient civilizations are on the rise, emphasizing the importance of place in historical narratives and archaeological studies.
Declining or Waning
- Medieval Studies:
While previously a focus, the number of papers addressing medieval Hispanic Latin has decreased, suggesting a waning interest in this area compared to classical studies. - Astrology and Eschatology:
Research on astrology and astral eschatology, though present, has seen a reduction, indicating a possible shift away from these niche subjects within the broader context of ancient studies. - Political History of the Late Antique Period:
Themes specifically related to the political crises of the late antique period are appearing less frequently, possibly overshadowed by a more general focus on classical antiquity and cultural studies. - Gender Studies in Antiquity:
Although gender studies have been addressed, the frequency of papers specifically focusing on women's roles in ancient societies has declined, potentially indicating a need for renewed interest in this area. - Roman Military Studies:
