Mari's self-insert might be laying it on a bit thick I admit (But it's Byzantium to where you should look for fragments of gnosis...)

@sssr Ah, but Ehrman rejects any connection between Clement and Flavius Clemens, so I suspected you were taking a more radical position. Either way, there is an important footnote in his Forgery and Counterforgery that points out that Jude's use of "faith" belongs to a conspicuously later age...

I have read in particular Robert Eisenman's take on the James-Paul rivalry. But my personal opinion is that the majority of the NT epistles were worked over in the 2nd century as a response to various heresies; Clement of Alexandria at least thought Jude was "prophetically" referring to the...

London/inium slang hasn't changed much in 2000 years

@sssr I am glad that you are at least observant, considering the lengths I went to make the quotes scripturally accurate. I've read a majority of the Ante-Nicene Fathers and people like Schweitzer and Quispel, but Yamazaki/Miki are evidently embracing the romantic notions of peplum films like...

>tfw you're Nero I had to double-check that both Felix's wife and the housekeeper are named Miriam; perhaps Mari-sensei intends it as a nod to her own name (and the Marys that were always mobbing Jesu-sama)

@OmegaKaiser I'm glad you think so because the leading has been bothering me since the first time I had to use a Q...time to fix it. (I was going for a William Morris kind of aesthetic.) I am kind of obsessive about finding period-appropriate typefaces, be it the 1960s or 60s.

If it's hard to read, just imagine how hard it was to typeset

my readers confirmed for liking cats more than boobs and Seneca did quote Epicurus with approval several times (apparently the Japanese still think that pseudo-Seneca bust is what the guy looked like)

I, too, was shocked that the author did any research at all

Please send all complaints to: https://www.torimiki.com/mail-form/ (And wives really did call their husbands "lord" in the bedroom; go figure)

The Chewbacca gambit

There actually were Gladiatrices during Domitian's reign, in a rare instance of historical accuracy They were topless tho

I'm still waiting for a Boudica manga :[ (Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that Plinivs and this manga are increasingly sharing the same plot...)

Please refer to I, Claudius if you want to know who won that contest

@LoktarOgar No, because I have the French and Spanish editions. The French is characteristically "French" in that the translator thinks he's better than the author and will always add little things to improve the text (I'm guilty of this, too), which still seems better than the Spanish where the...

Note the rant in the lower part of page 16 is presumably from 27.1 but since it's not verbatim I didn't cite it (in case I'm wrong) I make no attempt to conjugate this word and leave it exactly as it appears in the kana so jokes like this can be made vvv

(Yes, the Jupiter line was in the original...)

Laverna was the goddess of thieves so at least some people out there must've considered thievery an act of piety +thx Mark

The Japanese uses "Plinius-sama" here so I followed the lead of the French translation that calls him the Maitre/Master. Perhaps "Dominus" would be better? It seems that the confusion is meant to be intentional, which is why the housekeeper has to explain that Artemios is working there freely...
