Status Updates From Thermae Romae: The Complete...

Finished! This omnibus edition doesn't make for easy reading, especially with a jealous cat trying to make additional space for herself, but I enjoyed the story and characters immensely.

Satsuki's grandfather reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones.

Yamazaki's editor's nickname for Emperor Hadrian was Had-yan. 😆

This thing is massive.

I've reached a couple pages of translator's notes, which I wish I'd known about earlier. Some of the Latin terms I'd wondered about are explained here.

The page numbers have disappeared.

The fact that he is doing all these things with only a towel around his waist, *mwah* perfection.

No idea on what page I actually am but I just wanted to note that I actually learned how to ride a horse without stirrups first... True, the place where I learned about horses was a bit hippy-dippy but it did teach me how to balance and use my muscles well. Plus it also made me respect horses more? To not kick them and so on.

De periode van de Adoptiefkeizers, ook Adoptiekeizers genoemd, is een periode tussen 96 en 180 waarin, bij gebrek aan eigen nakomelingen, vijf keizers achter elkaar een of twee opvolgers als zonen adopteerden. Het was een bloeiperiode, ook de Gouden Eeuw van Rome of gouden eeuw van de Antonijnen genoemd, waarin alle keizers het keizerrijk op bekwame wijze regeerden.

Funny because I have never heard of the 'Five Good Emperors'. I had to look up what it meant in my language and we call it something wildly different. Amazing.

Beste manier om een schuinsmarcheerder van een potentiële keizer neer te zetten 🤣

Will there also be male statues with muscles and big penises? I mean...
