Heck if you want to test knowledge of Classical history, here are a few questions off the top of my head:

1) How many parts is Gaul divided into? Name them.
2) Who said (translated) ‘Extremism in defense of Liberty is No Vice, Moderation in Pursuit of Justice is No Virtue’?
3) What particular Extreme Thing did he want to do?
4) What was the signifigance of the Rubicon River?
5) Who said ‘Cartago Delenda Est’? When did he say it?
6) Who were the two sides in The Pellopennesian War?
7) What was the battle formation of Greek Infantry? Of Roman Infantry?
8) What was the ethnicity of Pharaoh Cleopatra of Egypt?
9) Who was Julius Caesar’s Rival for control of the Roman Republic? (Hint Caesar was killed at the feet of his statue)
10) What modern countries were within the bounds of the Roman Empire?
11) What modern countries were within the bounds of the Empire of Alexander the Great?

Good Luck and Have Fun!
