This is the website of Ian Hughes MA, the author of  Belisarius: The Last Roman General (2009), Stilicho:  The Vandal Who Saved Rome (2010), and Aetius: Attila’s Nemesis (2012).

I have written two articles for Ancient Warfare Magazine and a further article has been published by Despera Ferro, although this is in Spanish.

I expect my fourth book, on Valentinian and Valens, to be published in 2013.

I have made two podcasts, both on Belisarius, for Ancient Warfare Magazine.

In addition to writing, I also work as a cartographer and copyeditor. I have drawn maps for a variety of books by Pen and Sword, including, amongst others, ‘Mithridates the Great:  Rome’s Indomitable Enemy’ by Philip Matyszak , ‘Battle of the Baltic Islands 1917:  Triumph of the Imperial German Navy’ by Gary Staff, and the ongoing ‘Roman Conquests’ series.

If you would like to know more about these services, please don’t hesitate to contact me here.

Ian Hughes currently lives in South Yorkshire, England.
