Hi all.
I'm doing a bit of research for a Ranma idea I'm playing around with as a
respite from my current major work which will be posted sometime next week
(God willing) Anyway I was hoping to pick the collective brains of the FFML
for some directions to go on this questions.

Can anyone think of a plausible explanation for a Japanese family (you know
which one) to be living in an insula in republican Rome?

Why do you need a plausible explanation?  Is it plausible that Genma and 
Ranma swam across the Sea of Japan?  Personally I'd just have them be 
some of the first passengers on the Peking to Athens Passenger Dirigible 
route.

Ummm...none I can think of...say are they going to have a slave named
Pseudolus?
