postclassical

/poʊstklˈæsɪkəl/ adj

After the classical era (but sometimes before the medieval).

Word Origin From Latin post 'after' and classis 'class' — classical originally meant belonging to the highest class of Roman citizens, then came to refer to the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome. Postclassical means after that golden age. The same roots give us classify, classism, classroom, and subclass. The PIE root *kelh₁- 'to call, summon' also underlies claim and clamor.
