The Gladiators from Capua by Caroline Lawrence

Description: March AD 80. In Rome the Emperor Titus has announced that there will be a hundred days of games to open his new Flavian amphitheatre (now known as the Colosseum). Suspecting that their friend Jonathan is not dead, as they had thought, Flavia, Nubia and Lupus organize an invitation to Rome on the pretence of witnessing this historic event. Their search for Jonathan leads them straight to the games, where they must face wild beasts, criminals, conspirators and gladiators. It's Nubia's turn to employ all her courage and talents, and before the end of the story she is called upon to make the most terrible choice. A heart-pounding behind-the-scenes account of gladiator fights, executions and beast fights makes this one of the most exciting Roman Mysteries yet.

Also in this series are The Thieves Of Ostia, The Secrets Of Vesuvius, The Pirates of Pompeii, Assassins of Rome, The Dolphins Of Laurentium, The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina, The Enemies Of Jupiter, The Colossus of Rhodes, The Fugitive from Corinth, The Sirens of Surrentum, The Charioteer of Delphi Return to the Caroline Lawrence page.
