Suburani - A Latin reading Course book 1

Excerpt from the back cover: "Its the spring of AD 64 and as dawn breaks over the Subura in Rome a young woman calls from high in an apartment building to her aunt working in a bar below. While her father collects the rent from the other tenants a falling tile narrowly misses a senators son passing through the streets in a litter. Was it an accident? In the Subura your life hangs by a thread.
