I was afraid that it will seem too bizarre to be subbed, fortunately 6 eps weren't too long to give a try.
As a history nerd I couldn't miss it and enjoyed every minute. Regards to creators that they succeeded in presenting cultural nuances in way interesting for already interested and not too complicated for newcomers. The idea itself brilliantly summered Romans as little cultural thieves Very Happy The message of the show is also very heart-warming- anywhere and any time you go, you will meet friendly people willing to help you even if they don't understand a word. Even if they are any complications there's no problem that can't be solved by hot bath.

I know that South Park style of animation can be, but in that case it doesn't matter, since it's based on dialogues.

What did Lucius drink in fist episode? Yoghurt?

I remember reading somewhere he drinks some fruity-flavored milk in that episode(never watched the show).
