From the back of the book:

The year is AD 79. From an Irish Colony tucked well into the far west of the Celtic island of Britain, a family is captured by a raiding party and sold to the captain of a slave ship bound for the markets of Rome, sending them into a world as alien from their native land as the dark side of the moon. Patricius, the twelve-year-old son, and his little sister, Hilda, who had watched their mother killed in the raid and their father overwhelmed by a dozen men and taken away in chains, find themselves suddenly free from the slavers, lost in the mad rush of refugees from Pompeii, on the streets and in the alley-ways of the capitol of the known world, Alone in Rome.From the Latin Comes Alive series, the Irish author, educator, linguist, and world-traveller, Finnbarr Dunphy brings us an exciting story of adversity and courage set in a completely new textbook format for easily learning a language.
