Alan Scribner’s Judge Marcus Flavius Severus Mystery series has twelve books published between 2012 and 2023. The mysteries are set in ancient Rome, as suggested by titles like Mars the Avenger, Marcus Aurelius Betrayed, The Return of Spartacus, and Mission to Athens. Reading in publication order is recommended, since the series builds its characters and story across all twelve entries.

The middle stretch includes Across the River Styx (2018), The Persian Assassin (2019), and A Shipwreck Conspiracy (2020), while the later entries round things out with The Dagger of Nemesis (2021), The Wages of Sedition (2022), and Tribunal (2023).
