Philippe Leveau (born 4 January 1940) is a French historian and archaeologist.
As a student in Bordeaux, where he carried out research on the political ideology of Roman emperor Julian, Leveau obtained the Agrégation d'histoire in 1963 (ranked 36th).[1] As an assistant in ancient history at the University of Algiers for six years (1966-1972), he began researching the area around Caesarea in Mauretania.
From 1972 to 1984, Leveau was a lecturer at the Aix-Marseille University, where in 1979 he defended a post-graduate thesis under the supervision of Paul-Albert Février. It was published in 1984 by the Presses de École française de Rome. The same year, he was elected Professor of National Antiquities at the Aix-Marseille University, where he ended his career in 2002, having been awarded emeritus status.
He was a member of the Conseil national de la recherche archéologique from March 13, 1995 to March 13, 1999, and a member of the Commission pour les fouilles sous-marines, elected by the Commission interrégionale de la recherche archéologique Sud-est.
