4-6Roman Mysteries series.
In Assassins, Jonathan goes on a secret mission to find his long-missing mother; in Dolphins, Jonathan, Flavia, and friends search for sunken treasure, in the process stumbling over the source of Lupus's muteness. As in the other Roman Mysteries series titles, these books are fast paced and compulsively readable, with heaps of atmosphere and information about life in ancient Rome.
