Ian M. Evans

Ian Evans was born in the city of Bath, England, a place enjoyed by ‎and known to the Romans as Aquae Sulis. His parents were both ‎Scots, despite the Welsh name, and probably descendants of the ‎Scoti, one of the villains of this story. When he was a child, his ‎family moved to Johannesburg, South Africa. He attended St John's ‎College, which tried desperately - and ultimately failed - to teach him ‎Latin, which is regrettable in the current context. His enjoyment of ‎history, however, and his mother-inspired coin collection sustained ‎interest in the four hundred years that Britain was a significant ‎province of the mighty Roman Empire. At the University of the ‎Witwatersrand, he majored in history and psychology, then returned ‎to England for his PhD in experimental and clinical psychology at the ‎Institute of Psychiatry, University of London.‎
