Duncan B. Campbell

Dr Duncan B Campbell is a specialist in Greek and Roman warfare. He first became fascinated by Roman archaeology after a childhood visit to Hadrian's Wall and the subsequent purchase of Peter Connolly's excellent book *The Roman Army* (1975). He published his first academic paper in 1984, as an undergraduate at Glasgow University (Scotland), and produced a complete re-assessment of Roman siegecraft for his PhD.

He has made some of his research accessible to a wider readership through Osprey's New Vanguard, Elite, and Fortress series, and he was a regular contributor to Ancient Warfare magazine for over 15 years. Besides writing occasional academic articles, he has frequently reviewed for Bryn Mawr Classical Review.

He is particularly associated with two key texts for the study of the Roman army, having re-edited and translated the Latin text known as the *Liber de munitionibus castrorum* ("Book about the fortifications of a camp"), and having produced a new edition of Arrian's *Ektaxis kat'Alanôn* ("Deployment against the Alans"), complete with translation and extensive commentary.
