Thermae Romae

Lucius, a Roman bath architect, finds himself mysteriously transported through time to modern-day Japan, where he studies contemporary bathing culture to solve his architectural challenges back home. This six-issue Brazilian edition, published by Editora JBC from 2013 to 2014, adapts the acclaimed Japanese manga series by Mari Yamazaki. A playful, cross-cultural comedy that celebrates the art and ritual of bathing, Thermae Romae is a unique blend of historical fiction and fish-out-of-water humor.
