Henri Jordan (30 September 1833, Berlin – 10 November 1886, Königsberg) was a German classical scholar who specialized in Roman archaeological topography.
In 1861 he obtained his habilitation, and during the same year, undertook a study trip to Rome.
[1][2] He was part of a group of distinguished late 19th-century scholars of the Roman Forum that included Christian Hülsen and Rodolfo Lanciani.
This important work includes a critical edition of the regionary catalogues of ancient Rome, the Notitia and the Curiosum.
He was the author of significant writings on ancient Roman religion and also made contributions examining the history of the Latin language (1879).
