PERSONAL INFORMATION

After leaving secondary school, Julian Bennett worked as a freelance archaeologist in England and Germany, before entering the University of Durham where he graduated with a BA (Hons) in archaeology in 1978. After preliminary graduate study at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, he was appointed as an Excavations Director for English Heritage, continuing with graduate studies on a part-time basis to eventually be awarded his Ph.D (by research) in 1991, his topic being the Hadrianic frontier in Britain. After a short career-break, leading and directing archaeological tours around Europe and Scandinavia, the Mediterranean World, and South America, he joined Bilkent in 1995. His main areas of expertise are the art and architecture of the Roman Empire, and the Roman army, although he is involved in the study of Late Antique and Medieval architecture. He is the author of numerous monographs and articles on various aspects of Roman and Medieval Britain and the Roman army, his book, , Optimus Princeps (Routledge/Indiana University), having appeared in a second revised edition as well as being translated into Romanian. His fieldwork experience extends from rural and urban salvage excavations in Britain. Romania, and Germany to his current research project, studying the architecture of the Moldavian and Ottoman castle of Belgorod-Akkerman, in the Ukraine. He was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2002, becoming only the third person in Turkey to receive that distinction.
