Autorenporträt

Paul James was awarded his Doctor of Arts by the University of Sydney, Australia, in 2017 where he is currently further researching the topic of the Roman Supply Chain in preparation for a series of papers and another book. His original qualification as a chemical engineer, and his extensive work in supply chain management, has meant that he is a recognised authority on this subject. The current volume on the food supply for Rome was prepared using a combination of his extensive modern workplace expertise in conjunction with his studies of the situation in antiquity.
