This is a subject on a school report of a French Bac student
I know LCA is "langues et cultures de l'Antiquité"
Is there a suitable abbreviation in English or is a longhand explanation needed?

Yes, that's right, I read hurriedly AllegroTrans' question. [''Laguages' is a typo]

| agree |
philgoddard
: I'm voting for this despite your mistakes, because it's closest to the French. Languages and cultures of ancient Greece/Greek antiquity.
