Ubi Mors Habitat

In ancient Rome, a terrible plague is sweeping the city. People are suffering, and there seems to be no relief in sight. Rather than wait around for Death to come for them, three friends—Martianus, Corvina, and Paulus—decide to take matters into their own hands. They devise an audacious scheme to save the city by capturing and defeating Death himself! However, they are about to find out that beating Death at his own game can be trickier than they imagined, and sometimes things don’t always go according to plan . . .

Based on the medieval “The Pardoner’s Tales” from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, this crime and suspense classic contains many twists and turns that will leave you in suspense until the very last page. The original story has been adapted and translated in simple Latin appropriate for beginner-level readers of Latin.
