Antony Kamm read classics and English at Oxford University and is a former lecturer in publishing studies at Stirling University. His publications include The Romans: An Introduction (second edition 2008), The Israelites: An Introduction (1999), Julius Caesar: A Life (2006), and other books on historical and Scottish topics, for children as well as adults.
As accessible as it is scholarly. Properly set in the context of events elsewhere in the empire, it provides a straightforward account of this early episode in Scotland's story ... Mr Kamm informs and entertains in equal measure. Tom Kyle, the Scottish Daily Mail His writing is clear and precise ... The author makes an excellent job of explaining and, where necessary, simplifying the tangled web of what we know, or think we know, about Roman activities between the walls and weaves this tale into the bigger picture as seen from Rome ... All is told in 175 enthralling pages. Ian Keillar in History Scotland
