Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Murder at the Athenaeum is the 12th in the series of highly acclaimed and best-selling Judge Marcus Flavius Severus mysteries in Ancient Rome. This story takes place in the summer and autumn of year 178 CE during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. It is the year after the events in Tribunal. The Athenaeum in Rome was founded by the Emperor Hadrian as an institute for advanced studies, like the Museum and Library in Alexandria and the philosophy schools in Athens, Plato's Academy, Aristotle's Lyceum, Zeno's Stoa and Epicurus' Garden. The Athenaeum's students and professors came from all over the Empire to advance their learning, knowledge and scholarship. But sometimes, this idyllic setting was marred by the failings of its human population. In this book, blackmail, sex crimes and murder undermine the life and breath of the Athenaeum. Judge Severus, whose mathematical genius son Quintus, is a student at the Athenaeum, is drawn into solving the crimes.This book is not only a mystery, but also captures the daily life of ancient Rome and is a sojourn into the world of courts, police, and criminal law of the period. All laws, rescripts and legal procedures are from Roman law sources. Alan Scribner is a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale Law School.

He is also an independent scholar of Ancient Rome, co-author with J.C.Douglas Marshall of Anni Ultimi: A Roman Stoic Guide to Retirement, Old Age and Death.
