Abstract
Akroterion has now reached its seventieth year. When the journal first saw the light of day back in 1956, it was under the unassuming title Nuusbrief, a newsletter published by the University of Stellenbosch’s Department of Latin and edited by the esteemed Professor Frans Smuts. Already the first issue acknowledged the need for a more catching name, which would also reflect the setting from which the Classics were being viewed: the Cape (of Good Hope or of Storms, depending on the mood).
