SPQR Blues 3 part XXIV

Many apologies for the delay. It's been hard shaking the [whatever-the-heck-it-is-I-had] and its after-effects.







Helvius (teacher, midnight medic, and philosopher) is reciting lines from the poet Lucan, who wrote goth epics in the court of Nero. Lucan's uncle was the equally goth, Stephen King-esque poet/playwright/makeover-expert Seneca, best known for his grand-guignol version of Medea.

Nero was about as good for their family as Domitian has been for Felix's.

Heh.

Ha!

I know you thought you could slip that by me, because I've been all busy and AWOL lately, but ... I saw it! I did!

Or "them," I should say, since shuffling potted plants are always plural. Hawkwing says it takes a lot of plants in his case.
