This dvd is superb. This tv drama, based on the books of caroline Lawrence follows four friends Flavia, Nubia, Jonathan and Lupus as they struggle to live through one of history's most turbulent times in Ancient Rome.
With many comparisons to the lives of youngsters today, they deal with issues of prejudice, violence and the environment, wrapped up in riveting stories of mystery and suspense.
For differing reasons, each of the lead children are seen by Roman society as a misfit and an outsider, which helps strengthen the bond between them.
What lies at the heart of each episode, whether they are dealing with erupting volcanoes, assassins or plague, is the strength of their friendship.
The episodes in this first series are:
The Secrets of Vesuvius
The Pirates of Pompeii
The Assassins of Rome
The Dolphins of Laurentium and
The Enemies of Jupiter.
well worth renting out.
