Heinz Heinen

Heinz Heinen (September 14, 1941–June 21, 2013) was a German-Belgian historian of classical antiquity.

Heinen's main research areas were Hellenistic Egypt and Roman Egypt, Augusta Treverorum in the Roman era (the predecessor to modern Trier), Crimea in the Roman era and the wider northern Black Sea region, Soviet and Russian historiography and views of antiquity, and slavery in antiquity (and in ancient Rome).

The German Academic Exchange Service arranged a scholarship for Heinen to study at the University of Tübingen in 1964/65, where he was a research assistant to Karl Friedrich Stroheker [de].

In 1966, Heinen completed a doctorate project under the historian Hermann Bengtson [de], Rom und Ägypten von 51 bis 47 v. Chr.

In 1971, he attained a full professorship at the University of Trier, where he would teach and research ancient history the rest of his career.
