After a career in corporate finance, Gareth C Sampson returned to the study of ancient Rome and gained his PHD from the University of Manchester, where he taught for a number of years. He now lives in Plymouth with his wife and children.
"Chronologically arranged, each chapter is nicely interspersed with
the classical sources used to construct the narrative. The author,
moreover, is scrupulously honest in mentioning the limitations of
the (primarily) textual sources, their sometimes contradictory
nature, and the decisions taken to reconstruct a historically
accurate and coherent picture of what happened. Recommended.
General readers, lower-level undergraduates, and two-year program
students."--R. T. Ingoglia, St.Thomas Aquinas College "CHOICE, May
2021 Vol. 58 No. 9"
"A good read for those interested in Roman history, and
particularly for Sampson's "rescue" of Ventidius from obscurity."--
"The NYMAS Review"
