Anthony Richard Birley (born 8 October 1937) was the Professor of Ancient History at University of Manchester (1974-90) and at University of Dusseldorf (1990-2002). He is the son of the archaeologist Eric Birley, who bought the house next to Vindolanda where Anthony and his brother Robin began to excavate the site. They have both taken part in many of the excavations there, and Robin now runs them.
