Triumph for Flavius, A

When the Roman general Lucius Mummius returns to Rome in triumph, he presents his young son Flavius with a captured Greek slave, Ariphron. Through Flavius’s growing friendship with and compassion for Ariphron, readers see Roman family life and customs while following a story of drama, tragedy, hope, and triumph that shows how the love of one boy can change the course of another’s life. Caroline Dale Snedeker’s classic offers young readers an accessible introduction to the world of ancient Rome and Greece.
