He lives in Wales.. The author of many books, including How Rome Fell,Caesar,The Roman Army at War, and In the Name of Rome, he lectures widely and consults on historical documentaries produced by the History Channel, National Geographic, and the BBC. Goldsworthy is also the recipient of numerous prizes. Adrian Goldsworthy is a leading historian of the ancient worldI didn't realize there was so many different ways to play either. However, until I read David Lorimer's Radical Prince, I was not aware just how deeply committed the Prince of Wales is to what is nothing less than a multi-faceted challenge to the dominant paradigm.
