About the Author
Simon Scarrow taught history before becoming a full-time writer in 2005. His Roman soldier heroes Cato and Macro first stormed the book shops in 2000 in UNDER THE EAGLE, and have subsequently appeared in other bestsellers including THE GLADIATOR and THE LEGION (see inside for a full list of titles in Simon’s Roman series). His 400-year-old house in Norfolk is in an area colonised by the Romans in the first century AD, and home to the rebellious tribal leader Boudica. The inspiration for his books comes when walking his dogs around the ruins of a Roman town just outside Norwich.
Simon has many other literary projects in hand including a young adult Roman series. He also develops projects for television and film with his brother Alex.
