The ancient civilisation that inspired US democracy


A couple of months ago I was interviewed by Alistair Gill for an article about the Lycian Way. I don't get many requests arising out of my work on Lycia, and I was happy to do this. The article has finally appeared. I'm only quoted once, but I think quite a lot of what I said informed what Alistair wrote about the historical background.

Screening Britannia course update

I have delayed the start of my MANCENT course on Roman Britain on film for two weeks, due to health reasons. It will now run 18 September - 27 November. Tickets still available. All sessions recorded, so you don't have to attend live if it's inconvenient.
