Guy de la Bédoyère

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2024

Hello. My name is Guy de la Bédoyère. I'm a British historian and writer, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA) in the UK. I studied History and Archaeology at Collingwood College, University of Durham 1977-80, University of London 1982-5, and Institute of Archaeology, University College, London 1985-7. From 1981-1999 I worked mostly for BBC Radio News. I'm married, and have four sons, and (currently) five grandchildren. I started this channel when I was a History and Classical Civilization teacher (2007-2016) but kept it on after I gave up teaching. I've written a large number of books, mainly about the Roman world, but also on other subjects as diverse as ancient Egypt the Correspondence of Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn. Most recently I have written a book called Populus about the experience of being an ordinary Rome, published by Abacus in the UK and the University of Chicago Press in the United States. My next book is The Fall of Egypt and the Rise of Rome, published in September 2024 by Yale University Press.
