Yvon Garlan (16 July 1933 – 8 July 2022) was a French historian and academic.[1] He specialized in classical antiquity.

Biography

[edit]

Born in 1933, Garlan studied at the École normale supérieure[2] and earned an agrégation in history.[3] A specialist in the Hellenistic period, he was a professor at Rennes 2 University. His research led to the expansion of knowledge on Ancient Greek slavery, the Greek wars, and the amphoric stamp [fr]. His studies on the stamp systems of Thasos, Sinope, and Heraclea Pontica were highly notable.[citation needed]

In February 1979, Garlan was one of 34 signatories of a declaration written by Léon Poliakov Pierre Vidal-Naquet to dismantle the historical negationism of Robert Faurisson.[4] In 1991, he became a correspondent of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.[5]

Yvon Garlan died on 8 July 2022 at the age of 88.[6]
