Jean Millington grew up in Scotland and moved to Northern New Zealand at the end of the 1970s with her then husband. She has always been fascinated by Caesar and the whole era, finally making the trip from New Zealand to Rome in the 1990s.
Millington has a degree from Massey University in New Zealand - majoring in English and completing just as many Classics papers. She has two daughters and six grandchildren - some living a five-minute walk away and others in Canberra, Australia.
Long has history been voiced and inked by those in power. More often than not, men in power. Ancient Rome, with its dictators and senators, mad philosophers and stoics, was no different.
