Chapter V: LXVII
Scanning, lettering, shading, and saving this one row took all day, amici. I’m going to try to finish the comic tonight, but technical issues mean no promises 🙂

WAIT THAT’S MUS
Or it’s me still drawing Mus and Damin too much alike…??!!
I promise to work on faces.
No way you can mix Damon and Mus here. Faces are different.
No, it’s Damon. You can tell by the scowl.
and Damon has a bigger nose.
I think Iusta is going back to being a very wealthy Roman matron. Quite likely that Titus had appraised her late father’s holdings and gave her their value in money.
Also Mus is still being listed as dead, but I think he is working to correct that status since he has been corresponding with Alexandria and probably Rome as well.
Unfortunately he still is Domitian’s plaything and right now his well being is in jeopardy thanks to Domitian finding out that Felix is still alive and well.
Iusta has a great stinkeye.
That is Iusta doing the best impression of a Roman matron supporting her husband.
The first panel is classic Roman, the Pater familias framed by his wife and son.
Tho I’m curious what she’s so pissed off about, unless she just distrusts an official envoy on GP…tho, given the current level of Flavian Threat she might be well advised to be skeptical of any official interest…
More like she’s supicious on Felix’s behalf. After all, he’s her husband. It is very likely that Felix has given Iusta the “talk” about his family enemies which include the current imperial family.
“Follow the money.”
Wait. Didn’t this originally have Felix referencing a cousin, and the rep saying, no, sir, it’s you?
What’s that? What? I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’ll have to speak up. What? No, of course the dialogue wasn’t surreptitiously edited after posting. Nooooop.
Silly me. Of course the artist would never do something like that. I must have been mistaken…
