Sunday, March 7th, 2021

For those who like to ponder events in the existence of FK's Lacroix and Divia characters, I recently read an essay that might interest you: "How a Disaster Relief Program Changed the Roman Empire for the Better: Pompeii may symbolize catastrophe, but its aftermath provides a blueprint for rebuilding" by Annalee Newitz in The New York Times, March 6, 2021.

We naturally often focus on Pompeii for what existed before the Vesuvius eruption and what people suffered during the disaster. I, at least, had not thought to look into what happened after. According to this essay, many interesting things, including a relief and redistribution program about which Lacroix is sure to have had opinions. (I couldn't say whether Divia had opinions; she's an adolescent infused with terrible power and primordial evil; she probably didn't care much about economic and social structures.)

( some excerpts from the essay )
