Talk:A Courtesan of Rome/@comment-24378197-20181114150854

I have my concerns for this series.

For one, the fact that PB based their "research" on novels while they should've stuck to factual sources only makes it sound like we're getting a theme park version of the Roman Republic. I mean, it's bad enough to see some of the men with beards, which is associated with "barbarians" at that time.

Secondly, Marcus Antonius A.K.A. Mark Antony as love interest? From what I've heard, he was a sadist who beheaded Cicero, cut his hands and tongue off, displayed his head and hands on the rostra (a marble stage on the forum romanum, where political speeches were held), and served his wife the tongue, upon which she cursed Cicero's bloodline. That sounds like a scenario in which Caleb from Hero and Priya from Bloodbound are love interests. Definitely not pursuing that man with my MC.
