Mr Tony Curtis BA (Hons) MA
Research student
Overview
I'm a mature student with a British forces (Army) history and about 30 years of experiance in computing and financial sectors.
I'm interested in all things military, though primarilly ancient with a focus on Greek, Roman and Punic warfare. I'm particularly fascinated how new technologies and scientific understanding can help illuminate and challenge our previous understanding of the ancient world, including digital technologies such as mapping, geoscience, use of survey drones and virtual reality.
