Elizabeth Legge is a classical (Roman focus) archaeologist, biologist, and Doctor of Medicine candidate. She has travelled in 65 countries on every continent since the age of 2 and lived in 17 of them. Since she was a teen, she has travelled solo across and between several continents, living in different countries along the way. Much of this was done for her postgraduate university studies and to perform research for her main historical novel series, whose research was also used for her archaeology master’s thesis, which achieved full grades and much commendation.
