One of the real pleasures being a professional archaeologist and historian is having the chance to appear in television programmes as a presenter or expert. This is a fantastic medium to work in given its enormous reach, with viewers able to access programming today through the widest variety of platforms.

My name is Dr Simon Elliott and I am an historian and archaeologist, with nine books currently on sale, largely on Roman themes. A number of these are with the fabulous Pen & Sword, including Septimius Severus in Scotland and the forthcoming Pertinax: The Son of a Slave Who Became Roman Emperor, both through Greenhill Books. I have also just delivered the manuscript of the first of three books for Pen & Sword direct, this on the fate of the famous legio IX Hispana. A historical detective story if you will.
