Arelate

Set in the ancient Roman city of Arelate, this French comic series from 100 bulles blends historical intrigue with personal drama across six issues published between 2015 and 2024. Writer-artist Laurent Sieurac, joined by co-writer Alain Genot, crafts a vivid, character-driven narrative that explores the tensions of a provincial capital under the Empire. Its focused, self-contained run offers a compelling snapshot of a lesser-known corner of the ancient world, distinguished by Sieurac’s atmospheric artwork and meticulous historical grounding.
