I have written 22 books to date, with two more due out this year. I am currently writing Death on the Palatine: Cold Cases of the Roman Emperors, due to be published by Icon Publishing Ltd in April 2027.

I frequently appear on broadcast and social media as a presenter and expert on all things Roman, classical world, and historical/ military themes more broadly.
