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. This can range from the family watching the television in the corner of the living room, to an individual on the other side of the world viewing streamed programming on the latest electronic device.
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.
