About the author
Pat Southern was educated at Altrincham County Grammar School for Girls in Cheshire, and then qualified as a librarian at what was then the Polytechnic at Newcastle upon Tyne, chosen principally because it was at one end of Hadrian's Wall, which was visited religiously by bus or train, every Saturday, in all weathers. Whilst working full time in various libraries, she studied ancient history and archaeology as an external student of the University of London, and later obtained two master's degrees from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where she worked as librarian of the Department of Archaeology from 1983 to 1996. For several years she also worked part time in the vacations for the University of Durham as guide for coach trips to Roman sites in the north east. Her interest in Roman history has always been a driving force, and in later life it found expression in writing books. Pat is the author, with Karen Dixon, of The Roman Cavalry and The Late Roman Army, and the sole author of books on Augustus, Pompey the Great, Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Cleopatra and the Emperor Domitian.
