Scholars or experts who study ancient Greek and Roman literature, culture, and civilization.
From 'classicist' (one who studies classics), derived from Latin 'classicus' meaning 'of the highest class.' The suffix '-ist' denotes a person who practices or specializes in something.
Classicists have been the guardians of Western civilization's memory for centuries—without them, we'd have lost the works of Homer and Virgil to the Middle Ages entirely, since monasteries copied these texts to preserve them.
