SPQR Blues

Do not follow this link unless you have the better part of a day to sit and read. From ComixPedia:
SPQR Blues is a webcomic�a sword-and-sandals soap opera in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Mysteries and danger are daily duty in the life of a bodyguard�or so Felix hopes when he signs on. Who is threatening the life of the young girl he has been asked to protect? What secrets lurk in the tunnels below the city? And who keeps putting animals on top of the arch?

Created in November 2005 by artist Klio, SPQR Blues is updated "mostly daily" and has gained a devoted following among fans of online comics, those interested in the history of ancient Rome and fans of outstanding comic art. Most of the characters are based on the actual inhabitants of the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, whose names are known from graffiti, inscriptions, and the records of a notorious (and unresolved) ancient lawsuit.
