About the Author:
M.C. SCOTT qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the university of Cambridge before turning a lifelong passion for the ancient world into a bestselling writing career. As well as undertaking research from the university library to inform this series of novels, Scott is noted for accurately depicting the details of everyday life in Roman times -- a pursuit that has lead to weeks spent living in a roundhouse, as well as learning how to make swords using Roman-era technology.
