Description
When ancient Roman friends Flavia and Julius uncover a plot to overthrow the emperor, they must stop the criminals before it's too late.

Will Flavia and Julius get to the banquet in time to save the emperor's life? And who is the mastermind behind the evil plot?

Featuring Latin messages, mazes, logic puzzles, and more, children will enjoy immersing themselves in ancient Rome and taking part in the story. A page of solutions is included at the end of the book.
