Tom Holland
British historian, author, and broadcaster. Co-host of The Rest Is History podcast alongside Dominic Sandbrook. His books include Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic, Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar, Persian Fire, and Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind.
Holland’s specialism is classical antiquity and early Christianity, though The Rest Is History ranges freely across all periods and subjects. He is known for vivid narrative history written for a general audience and for a willingness to draw direct lines from ancient events to the present.
