Career

Southern was the librarian of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne from 1983 to 1996[3] and later at the library of the Newcastle upon Tyne Literary and Philosophical Society.[4] She has published 13 books on Roman history and archaeology and contributed numerous articles on Roman history to the BBC History website and the academic Roman studies journal Britannia.[5]

She has also written a history of her home town of Altrincham.

Southern's first two books The Roman Cavalry and The Late Roman Army were co-authored and illustrated by Karen Dixon. Dixon also illustrated several other books in the publisher's catalogue.[6] Dixon's analysis of morale in the late Roman Army was well received [7] and influenced the development of the study of military psychology in history pioneered by John Keegan in The Face of Battle.
