Adrian Goldsworthy est un auteur britannique réputé, spécialisé dans la fiction historique et les livres de non-fiction, en particulier dans le domaine de l'histoire de la Rome antique. Né en 1969, il a étudié l'Histoire Ancienne et Moderne au St. John's College, Oxford, et a obtenu par la suite un doctorat. Son bagage académique et son expertise en matière d'histoire militaire ancienne confèrent une autorité certaine à ses écrits.
Après son passage à Oxford, Goldsworthy a passé deux ans en tant que Junior Research Fellow à l'Université de Cardiff et a enseigné à temps partiel au King's College London. Il a également passé six ans en tant que professeur assistant dans le programme de Londres de l'Université de Notre Dame. Cependant, il se consacre aujourd'hui entièrement à l'écriture, dédiant son temps à partager ses connaissances et sa passion pour l'histoire à travers ses livres et d'autres activités.
Les travaux de Goldsworthy sont reconnus pour leur profondeur et leur détail, offrant aux lecteurs une compréhension riche et détaillée des figures historiques et des événements. Ses livres, qui incluent des biographies de figures notables telles que Auguste et Jules César, lui ont valu une réputation de premier historien dans son domaine. En particulier, sa biographie de César, intitulée "César : La Vie d'un Colosse", offre un aperçu complet de la vie de l'un des plus grands leaders de Rome, y compris son temps en tant que captif de pirates, ses manœuvres politiques et ses devoirs religieux.
En plus de son écriture, Goldsworthy est également un conférencier accompli et un consultant, partageant ses idées et son expertise avec un large public. Il a travaillé avec la chaîne History, National Geographic et la BBC sur des documentaires historiques, consolidant ainsi sa réputation en tant que voix éminente dans le domaine de l'histoire de la Rome antique. Malgré ses nombreuses réalisations, Goldsworthy reste un érudit humble et dévoué, engagé à partager son amour de l'histoire avec les lecteurs et les téléspectateurs du monde entier.
