Set in the ancient Roman Empire during the time of Christ, this adventure follows eight-year-old Marcus and his father on a mission for the emperor. Their journey takes them to a mine and a mint, where they experience the coin-making process firsthand.

The story revolves around Anne's discovery of her brothers' secret enlistment in the Union Army. Concerned for their safety, she gifts each brother a cherished two-cent piece, symbolizing her love and faith. The coins hold significance as they are the first to bear the phrase "In God We Trust," reflecting Anne's deep connection to her faith, highlighted by her memorization of Psalm 91:2. This poignant moment underscores themes of family, sacrifice, and the power of belief during turbulent times.
