Mystery Party – Teen
A Roman Murder Mystery
The year is 176 and Marcus Aurelius, one of two Emperors of Rome, has been off expanding the Roman Empire.

But when Drusa is found murdered, it’s up to everyone to find the killer – not only as justice for the victim, but also to prevent another war that the Roman Empire can ill afford!
