    I assume that Spendusa is resting with all the others back at the boat yards in Herculaneum.

      Didn’t Spendusa get caught out in the street? Felix wouldn’t know that, though.

      Shouty Guy’s looking even grimmer than Felix, and Felix looks like he’s wondering just what Venus set him up for.

        Yes. Spendusa was caught in the street with her sister. But the pyroclastic cloud was travelling at over 700 KPH, so it could have taken her body all the way back to the beach.

        I know it is not Spendusa nor any member of Josephus family because all of them died in the boat shelters. So it could be somebody else, perhaps his lady friend at the brothel.

          Wouldn’t have been much of a body left. 🙁

            Some of the people thrown onto the beach did get dug up again as skeletons. A woman who was thrown from the street above to the beach was one of the original character inspirations.

            Too brutal?

    I think you should give a name to Shouty Guy. I propose Secundus Gordianus. SG = Shouty Guy = Secundus Gordianus.

    Gordianus because he split the Gordian knot that his friend was busy with.

      He does deserve a SG name!

    He’s looking at coin necklaces. He’s looking for the coin he gave Mus.
    NOOOOOO! Not Mus!

      I wouldn’t worry about Mus right now. He was taken to Domitian’s villa when the scaffolding fell on him. He was there when the volcano blew up and probably was evacuated with everybody else.

        Sorry. I’m worried about the kid. “Crushed but alive” doesn’t sound too hot :/

      He just wants to thank him for the bear wrangling.

      Bear yesterday, bear day after tomorrow, never a bear today.

    Bear wrangling we didn’t get to see? Bear Wranglers have a very strong union. If they showed us, they’d have to kill us afterward.

          Bearsitis? Beary Beary? Bear-suit-ism?

          That was a stretch.
