Alex Gough is an author of Roman historical adventures, and has a decades-long interest in Ancient Roman history. His first series The Carbo Chronicles (including Watchmen of Rome , Bandits of Rome and the short story collection, Carbo and the Thief ) was the culmination of a lot of research into the underclasses of Ancient Rome. His second series, The Imperial Assassin , is set in the reign of the Severan dynasty, an under-examined period of Roman history. His latest series is based on the larger-than-life character of Mark Antony, the warrior, the commander, the politician and the lover.
