AIAC - Fasti Online 

AIAC was founded in 1945 during the cultural revival of post-war Rome, a time of re-established peaceful international relations. This period was ideal for the organization’s creation, as numerous foreign scholars, both those in Rome during the war and those arriving with Allied troops, were present. AIAC’s origins date back to 1823, with the 'Circle of Hyperborean Romans' founded by Nordic intellectuals, leading to the establishment of the first Institute of Archaeological Correspondence in 1829, which became the German Archaeological Institute in 1871. Seventy-five years later, AIAC emerged as the heir to this tradition, promoting international collaboration in archaeology. Its early activities included managing archaeological libraries and publishing research, notably through Fasti Archaeologici, a journal that ran for 41 volumes until 1997. Fasti Online succeeded it, providing a database of over 3,400 sites and excavation reports, supported by the journal FOLD&R Italia.
