Should the classics be capitalized?

In general, most historical or cultural period names are lowercased except for proper nouns and adjectives (baroque period, classical period, colonial period, romantic period; but Hellenistic period, Victorian era) or to avoid ambiguity (Bronze Age, Enlightenment, Middle Ages, Reformation, Renaissance).

Should classical antiquity be capitalized?

Most period designations should be lower-cased, e.g. ancient Greece, late antiquity. Archaeological and historical periods, however, should be capitalized, e.g. Bronze Age, Augustan era.
