Trevor Robert Bryce (/braɪs/; born 1940) is an Australian Hittitologist specializing in ancient and classical Near-eastern history. He is semi-retired and lives in Brisbane.
His book, The Kingdom of the Hittites, is popular among English-speaking readers since the study of the Hittites has been dominated by German-language scholarship.[1] A new improved and updated edition of this popular book, featuring 90 additional pages, was published in 2005.[2] Bryce is a professor in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion, and Classics at The University of Queensland.
