Competition: Sea Eagles of the Empire

Cover of Sea Eagles of Empire: The Classis Britannica and the Battles for Britain by Simon Elliot

Following on from our Writing History and Getting Published panel held on 15 March, in which Amanda Thomas and Dr Simon Elliott, two authors who are both alumni from the School of European Culture and Languages, talked about the process of research, writing, submitting and getting published, we have one signed copy of Simon’s Sea Eagles of Empire: The Classis Britannica and the Battles for Britain (History Press, 2016) to give away.

Sea Eagles of Empire was Simon’s first book and won Military History Monthly’s Book of the Year Award. It tells the story of the Classis Britannica, the British Roman Navy. Simon is an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Classical & Archaeological Studies.

To win, just answer the following question:

  • Which Roman Governor of Britain fought the battle of Mons Graupius in AD 83?

Send your answers to secl@kent.ac.uk with ‘SECL book competition’ as the subject of the email. The competition is open until midnight on Friday 25 May 2018.

Photos of the event have been added to the new Classical & Archaeological Studies at Kent Facebook page.
