The Narrator has a reoccurring dream of a statue that moves and changes its face. While discussing it with a charlatan posing as a soothsayer, he decides on what his next great adventure must be. Though he hates the place, he needs to go to Rome at the peak of her Imperial power.
Based on the first half of Chapter 14 of Middle by Geoff Micks.
