that's
right!
repair
instead of
replace.
Great
idea!
if you only
replaced
the
blade,
you'd
save a denarius
on
every pilum!
can't.
rome says we're
spending too much
money. we've got to save
one denarius a day.
..
but.
.. I can't figure out
how
we'll do it.
and to top it off,
my girlfriend is
teed off because
we're fighting a
second
punic war.
why
didn't
you get the
job done
the
first
time?
why are all
these small
catapults in
the
junk
pile,
commander?
we wore them
all out trying
to reach the
wall. they
never had
ehough
oomph
to get there.
how much
does a small
catapult
cost?
a
hand-
ful of
denarii.
commander!
why not use the
big
catapults
now…
and save
the
little
ones
until we get
closer to
the wall?
hmm… not all
catapults are
made to do the
same job.
It's
important to use
the one made for
the job at hand.
the
denarii
are
piling
up!
what's
hap-
pening
there?
the blades of
their
pilums
are
busted…
so… they're
turning them in
for
new
ones.
how
much
does a
pilum
cost?
two
denarii
—
the
staff
costs one
and the
blade
costs one.

sorry, boss.
..
I gave up trying
to figure out
women after
psyche
fell
for that little
twerp,
cupid.
but one
denarius
a day
shouldn't
be
too
hard.
