Flavia, Jonathan, Lupus und Nubia sind Kinder, die im Alten Rom aufwachsen. Sie erleben viele Abenteuer, die sie in teils ausweglose Situationen bringen. Doch weil die vier Freunde zusammenhalten und sie viel Kombinationsgabe und Spürsinn besitzen, können sie sich immer wieder aus ihrer Lage befreien.
Roman Mysteries is a tremendous way for younger viewers to learn about ancient history. Set in the Roman Empire in AD79, it is based on a series of novels by Caroline Lawrence that have sold more than a million copies worldwide. It isn't hard to see why - they graft child-friendly adventure on to careful research, and the same care has been taken to transfer them faithfully to the screen with the help of a strong cast and healthy-looking budget. The first episode this afternoon gives a vivid sense of gladiatorial combat, without the risk of children waking up in the middle of the night screaming.
Flavia, Nubia, Jonathan et Lupus sont quatre enfants qui résolvent des mystères divers à l'époque de la Rome antique, en 79 de notre ère.
