Wilhelm Kubitschek (28 June 1858, in

Preßburg – 2 October 1936, in Vienna) was an Austrian classical
historian,

epigrapher and numismatist.

From 1875 he studied history, epigraphy and archaeology at the University
of

Vienna, where his teachers included Otto Hirschfeld and Otto Benndorf.

Afterwards, he furthered his education in Berlin as a student of Theodor

Mommsen. From 1881 he taught classes at gymnasiums in Hollabrunn and
Vienna, and

in 1887 qualified as a university lecturer in ancient history. In 1896 he
became

an associate professor at the University of Graz, and during the
following year,

returned to Vienna as curator of the Imperial Coin Collection at the

Kunsthistorisches Museum. In Vienna, he also taught classes in Roman
history,

epigraphy and numismatics at the university. In 1916 he succeeded Eugen
Bormann

as a full professor of Roman archaeology and epigraphy.

In 1903 he was appointed conservator to the Zentralkommission für
Erforschung

und Erhaltung der Kunst- und historischen Denkmale (Central Commission
