French anon here, thanks for dumping it every day! I also want to thank the 2 anons that helped me proofread most chapters.
If anyone cares about my own thoughts, I really liked the manga, especially the parts with Pliny where he travels around the Mediterranean. But starting with the great fire of Rome, the manga shifts to focus more on Nero’s downfall and it weighs the manga down imo. I don't think they're all bad, but there's too many chapters that kind of read the same, showing how bad Nero’s situation is but somehow he manages to stay in power. There’s some Nero chapters that I really like though, like when he meets Pliny again in chapter 60 and chapter 69/70 with his parrot and when he dies.
I started working on a map a while ago showing Pliny's travel in the manga, but since the images have to be really small I don't think it looks very good so I didn't bother including everything.

thanks, OP. I forgot about this series for a while until the TL's resumed again, so I had also forgotten some of the finer details of Pliny's journey.
Felix was best bro, he was so much fun to have around. I did like having the details of Nero's downfall run alongside this all, I thought it was very well done, especially to show some of the gaps in between Pliny's writings. I've always enjoyed the artwork for the series, seeing some good Romeabooisms for material culture and the width of its domains, more than just its military and despots, is always refreshing.
