Roman Mysteries
I was not going to write about the TV series ” Roman Mysteries ” -- assuming that all of you have heard of it . However yesterday while I was chatting with Ikarus -- when I mentioned that I was currently watching the series he told me that he never heard of them -- so I decided that after all they deserve to at least be mentioned at theSkyKid.com. I must admit that I am not a big fan of TV series -- but they do a fine job when I am tired or don`t have time to watch a full length film .
Roman Mysteries follows the stories of Flavia, Nubia, Jonathan, and Lupus, four young friends growing up in Ancient Rome. The TV series are based on the books by Caroline Lawrence. I haven`t read them yet -- but would like to do that soon. The series were filmed in Bulgaria , Malta and UK with a budget exceeding 10 millions British pounds -- which is probably why the overall image in the series is quite good. The casting is quite good for TV series -- and most of the actors delivered good performances .
I have always been interest in ancient history -- Greek , Rome , Visantian empire . I even took classes in Latin while I was attending high school and even I found it rather hard language I really enjoyed the classes ( much thanks to my teachers ) . Roman Mysteries could entertain -- but I am not so sure if there is much of educational value in them. At the end I guess -- my opinion on Roman Mysteries is a bit biased -- as I myself am found of the popular “Rome” series -- as they seem to be more intense and intriguing .

Wanted (1994) Short film review: 
Review of the coming of age classic book Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon . Audio review of the book is included in the article.
To be honest this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this.
It has been a while since I wrote my article about Roman Mysteries and I kept watching them. My opinion has not changed much – but yes since most of the stories are split in 2 episodes – watching one a night gives you something to look for the next night. It will be good if more people find out of the series …watch them and share their views …
Roman Mysteries is the one of the best tv series that I have evre watched and I don't know if you can buy the dvds at ABC stores or not wat do think??
Yeh it would I would love to be able to watch one episode each night bt I don't know if you can buy the DVDs at the ABC shops could you plzzz help me??
Hello Baby G,
I do not think that ABC shops sell The Roman Mysteries series. You could find them at amazon.com – I guess they would deliver to Australia . Also there is a chance that the DVD would be available in some DVD store or mall around you. Good luck fining it !
