I have had a decades long interest in Ancient Roman history, and the Carbo Series (Watchmen of Rome, Bandits of Rome, Killer of Rome and the short story collection Carbo and the Thief) is the culmination of a lot of research into the underclasses of Ancient Rome. My second series, The Imperial Assassin, is set in the reign of the Severan dynasty which is a very under-examined period of Roman history. My latest series is based on the larger than life character of Mark Antony, the warrior, the commander, the politician and the lover. I would love to interact with readers. You can follow me on twitter @romanfiction or like Alex Gough Author on Facebook.
