Gordianus the Finder
Gordianus the Finder is the fictional protagonist of Steven Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa series of mystery novels set in Republican Rome. Gordianus interacts with non-fictional citizens including Sulla, Cicero, Catullus, Pompey, Julius Caesar, and Marc Antony. Gordianus has a somewhat unusual family structure: his wife, Bethesda, is a former Egyptian slave; his elder adopted son Eco a former deaf-mute who has followed in his father's footsteps as an investigator; his younger adopted son Meto who has estranged himself from his father by becoming a soldier; and his intellectual daughter Diana who has a weakness for well-built but dim-witted men...which is shared, to some extent, by Meto.
