In The Roman Mystery Scrolls: The Two-faced God, readers are transported back to ancient Rome, where adventure and humor intertwine seamlessly. Threptus, a former beggar boy, finds himself assisting his mentor, Floridius the Soothsayer, in a rather peculiar task: interpreting omens for a wealthy patron whose villa is rumored to be haunted. The stakes are high, as the pay is lucrative, but the process involves a rather unsettling examination of a sheep's liver, which has poor Floridius fainting at the mere sight of blood.

As Threptus navigates this daunting challenge, he must find a way to help his friend while unraveling the mystery surrounding the haunted villa. The duo's escapades are filled with laughter and unexpected twists, showcasing the superstitious nature of ancient Roman society. With their unique blend of wit and resourcefulness, Threptus and Floridius embark on a quest that tests their courage and cleverness.

Join them in The Roman Mystery Scrolls: The Two-faced God as they delve into the comedic yet perilous world of omens, superstition, and the intricacies of Roman life. This fourth installment in the series promises to be a delightful mix of history and humor, appealing to both young readers and those young at heart, ensuring that the adventures of Threptus and Floridius remain as engaging as ever.
