He designed and performed so far on numerous national television programs that treated his subject, such as The Seven World Wonders or Romer 's Egypt. He is next to Michael Wood as one of the best known television researchers in Britain. A striking feature of his clothing is the sun, reminiscent of the fictional explorer Indiana Jones.

Romer came with the tray of archeology on his study of epigraphy in touch. He originally worked in Iran and Egypt as the epigraph. With his archaeological work he began in 1966, when he, the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, now known as Luxor (Thebes - West ) known surveyed for the University of Chicago.

In 1978 he founded with his wife Elizabeth Romer, who is also an Egyptologist, The Theban Foundation, a foundation that the preservation and research of ancient Thebes in Königsgrabmälern devoted himself. As part of the Foundation he founded in 1978, the Theban Mapping Project, where all the ancient Fund places are cartographically captured in Thebes and stored in a database.
