Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), the first scholar and third Director of the British School at Rome died tragically when he tumbled from a train. His 'The Roman Campagna in Classical Times' remains a classic work of topographic research. This book, written by another former Director, tells the story of his life as an academic, as the Director responsible for building the British School at Rome in the Valle Giulia, as an ambulance driver in the First World War, as an avid photographer and, in the author's view, as the victim of the British tendency towards dark moral judgement.Hodges, Richard is the author of 'Falerii Novi A New Survey of the Walled Area' with ISBN 9780904152333 and ISBN 0904152332.
