You seem to be forgetting, that our ability to recognize pictograms comes from our lifetime exposure to them. A person who has never had contact with abstract pictograms would not be able to read it. It is possible though he would touch the button out of curiosity and trigger the toilett function accidently and discovering this way, what the buttons are for. But it didnt happen that way, did it?
Also I never said that Romans had all the things Lucius copies from the modern japanese era. It is just a little annoying that they make it sound like the japanese know it all better: lookie here and learn from us. You know what would solve this problem? If the information flow was not so onesided. As in, if the japanese could learn something from Lucius... then this would be perfect!!!
Anyways, thanks for the extra info about the creator of the manga..... i can see where her interest in italian culture comes from.
