Roman Mysteries (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]] - Alma and Miriam are the best cooks and play the most traditionally feminine roles in the story, especially by 1st Century Roman standards. Flavia, on the other hand, is hardly ever depicted cooking, partly because she is a [[Tomboy]] and partly because Alma does all the cooking for her family.

* [[Foreign Queasine]] - Stuffed dormice and other exotic period food.

* [[Friend to All Living Things]] - Nubia

* [[Gentle Giant]] - Caudex is a [[The Big Guy|large, burly slave]] trained to be a Gladiator but normally peaceful and unwilling to hurt people.

* [[The Hero]] - Flavia

* [[Heroic Dolphin]] meets [[Friendly Playful Dolphin]] - In the episode ''The Dolphins of Laurentum'', the main characters swim and play with dolpins, and {{spoiler|Lupus even rides one.}} A dolphin rescues {{spoiler|Lupus after he nearly drowns from staying underwater too long while diving. It is also strongly implied that the same dolphin discouraged Lupus from deliberatly leaving behind another diver who had been trapped by a giant octopus, though in fairness to Lupus he had a good reason for wanting the trapped person to die.}} A ship is named Delphina.

* [[Hurting Hero]] - Lupus is the main example at the beginning of the series. Jonathan also becomes one.

* [[I Call It Vera]] - The door-slave (and former gladiator) Caudex has a sword he calls "Flora"; named, we are told, after an ex-girlfriend with a sharp tongue.
