Jonathan Stamp was educated at St Paul's School, London, (1976-81) and Balliol College, Oxford, (1982-86), where he completed a Bachelor' and Master' Degree in Classical Studies. He was awarded the Brackenbury Scholarship in Literature while at Balliol, and graduated summa cum laude, with a First Class Honours Degree. His career at the BBC was spent within its History Department where he produced, wrote and directed more than twenty documentaries, at least half of which were related to the classical world, and particularly, to the world of ancient Rome. During the course of making these documentaries he continued to work and travel widely across the Mediterranean. For the purposes of research on these projects he was, and remains, affiliated to the British School at Rome, one of the world's premier academic centres for Roman studies.
