Very fascinating fantasy world Old Pliny created.
Genuinely would make for an interesting game or book.

It’s insane how u keep a community active with such long spans in between videos. Like we’re just waiting years for a video and it’s always good.

It would be cool if you could do a weekly or bi-weekly or monthly series for books 3-6, slowly filling out the world as it goes on a few paragraphs at a time. I would watch that.

I really like that Pliny just went "yeah this was the best person ever, the Senate held a vote, also he was exiled."

I love ancient times. It was the only period where you could be some Roman dude, look at a dead horse and a dead Egyptian kid and be like, “Oh yeah time to make some money spreading some misinformation.”

Maybe is just me but I kind of like the ending, is a good way to close the book
