Can still manage in this cold weather somehow…


>Mr. Himaruya, what does Hong Kong’s “Predator!!!” mean…?

It means predator!!

>In the current official setting, who calls France, the world’s big brother, “big brother”, “brother” or “big bro” and actually means it?

Right now I think Monaco and Italy do, but there are probably others as well.

>In the “Movie” strip with America and England, it seems like America is cooking something. What is it?

It’s popcorn!
Popcorn and a movie together are a given.

>I was wondering about why there were 85 generations of emperors in a 500-year period, but I can’t seem to find any reference or data. I would appreciate it if you could give me more information about these Roman emperors.

In the Barracks’ Emperor period, a Roman emperor’s reign could be as short as one month; in the breakup (or schism) of the Roman empire, there was also an increase of emperors as well.

Since emperors changed so frequently during the Barracks emperor period, Romans would get annoyed and say:

You be the emperor”
“I don’t wanna”
“Not me”
“Mornin’, what are you talking about?”
” ” “Alrighty, you be the emperor !” ” ”

Putting pressure on others to be emperor was a common occurrence…

Incidentally, there was an abundance of different types of emperors: sickly, freemen, teenagers, trembling old men, cross-dressing men, local men boasting of their physical strength, popular locals, men who thought “even though I have no blood relations, I could maybe be emperor,” emperor who transcends space and time who is still an enigma to this day, those who only had a similar name to famous people, it was quite an amazing array of people…

For information on the Roman Emperors, I recommend primary sources + relatively new English language sources.
On the internet alone, you can find published information ranging from the primary sources till recent research from today!
There are also sites that elaborate on each emperor, and published research on emperors are available in public libraries.
But a lot of material hasn’t been translated, so it’ll be like studying English while doing your own translations…

If you want to buy a book that’s a summary of Roman times, you should go to a bookstore and look for the pages on Maxentius. Since he’s recently being reevaluated, any book that includes information on him probably incorporates materials other than primary sources.

>Since Cleopatra was of Greek descent through the Ptolemaic Dynasty, it seems like she had chestnut-colored curly hair, rather than brown hair.

As there are engravings of her with her hair done, she definitely enjoyed fashion, it’s really cute .

Until recently researchers were all coming to the consensus that Cleopatra was of Greek origin, but in 2009 they investigated Cleopatra the VII’s relatives bones and determined that the two were both of African origin. Ever since then it’s become a hot debate between “She was of mixed African origin” to “No no way she’s definitely of Greek descent.”
After thinking through about it over and over again , in the end I decided upon the bob-hair style Cleopatra that I love.
