Books by Gareth C. Sampson

After a career in corporate finance, Gareth 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 has made a detailed study of early Roman political history and in particular the political office of the tribunate of the plebs. Following his doctorate he engaged in a study of the power struggles and the civil warfare of the late republic and its expansionist policies in the East. In addition to The Defeat of Rome he has published The Collapse of Rome: Marius, Sulla and the First Civil War and The Crisis of Rome: The Jugurthine and Northern Wars and the Rise of Marius. His forthcoming book is Roman Expansion Between the Punic Wars. He now lives in Plymouth.
