Back to Monday/Wednesday/Friday, I hope!


Secundus has a remarkable memory. He just remembered the wrong thing.

In about 3 seconds Iusta was going to see if showing him what an actual hysterical woman looks like would be any help in getting what she wants.

"My husband's family are well known! They can't have vanished!"

I. Now that's the sort of thing we expect from a Calatoria Themis trainee!

IA. Love that face in Panel III.

II. Sadly, yes, yes, they can.

III. FEEEEEEEEELIX, nothing more than FEEEEEEEEELIX....

Bureaucracy!

In a way, I am fascinated how this hasn't changed in 2000 years. Disaster strikes. Check the list. Wash - rinse - repeat.

But given Roman recordkeeping, I shouldn't be surprised.

Romans were the inventors of the triplicate copy and countersigning.

The scenes where Felix is grumbling about sloppy recordkeeping and dodgy doings in the files are a delight.

The guy with black hair looks Mycenaean instead of Roman.

The Mycenaean look, and long sideburns, and thin jawline beards are all the rage with the kids these days. As for the rest of his hair, he probably lost his comb.

So he is the Roman equivalent of a punk kid. LMAO.

His family might even be from some small Greek island, where there's nothing else to do but rebel. (In a bored-teenage way involving fashion choices and music, that is, not as in insurrection against the Empire bound to be put down swiftly and mercilessly...)

I wonder if they are mistaking Felix for her husband.

I could tell from her face in the last panel of the previous strip that that list was GOING DOWN if it tried to mess with her.

That kid may have newfangled hair, but he's a good bookkeeper!

Hehe. Justa just needs some time to come into the ferocity she learned from the women in her life.

Also: Being a human database would be an invaluable skill...

I love the expressions on every single face. Even on that hand on panel 2! (It's saying, "I'm not going to tell my mistress she's hysterical. You sure YOU want to risk doing that?")

Irenaeus knows better than to try crossing his mistress again :D
