David Z.

David earned his Bachelor of Arts in History from Concordia University. His academic focus gravitated towards Rome and Greece, laying the foundation for his future studies. With a thirst for deeper historical insight, he pursued a Master’s degree in History at the University of Glasgow.

Throughout his postgraduate studies, David delved into the rich military traditions of the Roman Republic, focusing specifically on the evolution and structure of the Legionaries, the backbone of Rome’s military might. His work often explored how these disciplined soldiers shaped not just the expansion of Rome but also the complex socio-political fabric of the Republic. His research extended into the Greek world, offering comparative insights into the military tactics and governance between these ancient powers.
Beyond academia, David channels his love for history into creative writing. His first novel, a historical fiction, draws from his extensive knowledge of antiquity, blending rigorous historical detail with compelling narrative arcs and merging scholarship with storytelling in a way that invites readers to explore new worlds.
