Jokes aside, this manga is pretty legit. Guy did a lot of research, even taking the time to explain the Roman triple battle line. Pretty entertaining depiction of the 2nd Punic War

It even depicts the Senate house accurately. Not even Western media does that. Wtf, how does one nerdy Japanese guy depict the Romans better than most Western novels/shows/movies?

>how does one nerdy Japanese guy

If it's just one guy doing it then he's not going to be limited by a committee of television producers telling the director/writer to cut down on the politics and have more sex.

>>12177553
I guess it's helpful that his Japanese audience won't have many preconceived notions of what the Roman world is supposed to look and feel like, so he can go 100% authentic rather than pander to tropes. Take the Senate house for example: in most Western media, they depict it as a semi-circle. And so most people believe that it was always that way. If a movie were to depict it like it truly was, then the audience would be confused and think that the film got it wrong.
