The NHSA is delighted to welcome Gregory Coates as our speaker for this event in which we study Caesar’s famous siege of Alesia, which formed the culmination of his campaigns in Gaul. Gregory will be attending as part of our programme of speakers engaged in doctorate research. Having graduated with first class honours from Oxford University, Gregory is currently a doctorate candidate in Classics at King’s College, London and specialises in the political and military history of the Roman Republic, with an emphasis on the Civil Wars of the first century BCE. He has published already on the dictatorship of Lucius Cornelius Sulla and has a particular interest in the career of Julius Caesar. This event will take place at 9.15 am on Saturday 13 May 2023 and will be accompanied by a small exhibition and a simulation of the great siege. Please contact Philip Marshall on 07946 041733 if you would like to attend.
