He focuses his research on the archaeology of Iron Age and Roman Britain and upon the reception of Roman culture since the Renaissance. Londinium won the Prose Award for Classics in 2019.
“This was an attempt to write a popular account of Boudica, taking in the whole story, starting off with the Iron Age, the society into which Boudica was born and taking the stories through. We can’t talk about her childhood particularly, but we can say something about her involvement with her husband or partner, Prasutagus, and the uprising against Rome, what caused it, and the aftermath.” Read more...
