The George Grote Prize in Ancient History is a distinguished academic prize awarded for notable research in Ancient History, named after historian George Grote. Notable winners include Professor Robin Osborne, Professor Armand D'Angour and Dr Charles Crowther, whose winning entries have been published.[1][2][3]

The prize was first awarded in 1982, and historically, winners have been announced in the German review journal, Gnomon.[4]

The cash prize of £3000 is offered for a thesis on a subject chosen by the author, and is awarded by the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London, from a fund bequeathed by Professor Victor Ehrenberg. In the past the prize has been awarded every two to three years.[5]

The prize may nowadays be entered by members of any University of London institution who have completed no more than four years of full-time research (or the part-time equivalent). Entries are judged by the George Grote Prize Committee, comprised of teachers of ancient history within the University of London.[6]
