About us
Join us for the start of our Spring lecture programme when Bryan Short discusses the generals who accompanied Alexander the Great and made his conquests possible on Thursday, 27th April (7.30pm).
A great deal is known about Alexander the Great and his conquests but not much about the great men who accompanied him and made it all possible, his generals. Theirs is an intriguing and action-packed story that traces their interactions and achievements as one by one they are killed off to the last, along with the family of Alexander.
This was an exceedingly competent group of men and, like Alexander, they had a great impact on the world. But in the end their demise was as dramatic as their rise.
Bryan Short is a retired Systems Analyst who has embarked on an interest in Ancient History. He has a Diploma in Classical Studies from the Open University (Dip CS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Ancient History (PG Cert) from Trinity St David University.
Bryan is Fellow of the Royal Numismatic Society (FRNS) and has had several articles published and brief spots on radio and TV.
