Quintus Curtius Rufus, the Roman historian, wrote the only life in
Latin of Alexander the Great. The author's identity and the date of
composition of the work have been the subject of great debate.
However, the evidence of recent years suggests he was a soldier and
politician who rose from obscurity to a senatorial role under
Tiberius (AD 14-37). However, the fall of the emperor's chief
minister, Sejanus, brought his political career temporarily to an
end and he turned to writing.
John Yardley was born in 1942 and educated at St Andrews and Oxford
