SPQR Blues Chapter IV: CCLXIII

[spqrblues]

Meanwhile, not very far away...



Newly minted emperor of Rome at the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Titus worked hard to meet the needs of his citizens in the aftermath--travelling to the area, arranging for aid and distribution of funds--and during a series of other disasters early in his reign.

There will be an extra comic tomorrow (Thursday).

Marcus, don't you know that huffing sweet'n'low is bad for you? Eesh. Some doctor.

It's true--huffing cane sugar is much better, though it's even better to substitute honey. Sticky, though.

I wonder...

If Marcus is at the imperial palace (or what Titus is using as the imperial palace for the moment; I'm not sure whether this is the same place we last saw Domitian), is there a chance he'll happen across Mus and recognize - and identity - him?

If only!

Or did you mean Marcus as in Helvius or Marcus as in Felix?

Felix is going to be trying his very best not to be anyplace where Titus might be.

Marcus Helvius, on the other hand...

No, no, definitely not Felix! I meant Marcus Helvius - we can see he's where Titus is at the moment, and I wondered if that might be the same villa where Domitian was staying as the eruption got underway.
