Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I was a cruel emperor of the Roman Empire. It is often said that I was crazy because I pushed to have my horse made a senator. However, not everyone believes this. Who am I?

Answer: Caligula

Caligula was very cruel to his people during his later reign. Junius Brutus was a dictator of the Roman Empire.
2. I am a city destroyed in 79 A.D. A volcano erupted and covered me in ash. Where am I?

Answer: Pompeii

Pompeii is, of course, no longer a 'real' city. Rome and Messina are in Italy and Alexandria is an ancient city in North Africa.
3. Upper-class citizens of the Roman Empire are called what?

Answer: Patricians

The patricians of the Roman Empire had a much greater say in the government than the other citizens.
4. Lower-class citizens of the Roman Empire were called what?

Answer: Plebeians

Not surprisingly, the plebeians of the Roman Empire accounted for most of the population.

Answer: aqueducts

Aqueducts were built with the amazing architectural technique of arches devised by the Romans.
6. Which city was the capital of the Eastern part of the Roman Empire following the 'definitive' division into two parts under Theodosius in AD 395?

Answer: Byzantium

The Western counterpart moved from Milan to Trier (in Germany) before finally coming to rest, so to speak, in Ravenna in 402.
7. What was the primary language of the Roman Empire?

Answer: Latin

Many modern languages are derived from Latin, for example: French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian and others (the Romance languages). Many languages, that are not descended from Latin, incorporate much vocabulary derived from Latin. In the eastern parts of the empire, Greek was also very widely used.
8. Which of the following was NOT a Roman ruler?

Answer: John Paul I

John Paul I was a 20th century Roman Catholic pope - the immediate predecessor of John Paul II.
9. In the reign of Constantine I, what religion became promoted in ancient Rome?

Before Constantine I ruled, Christians were persecuted by the government and regular citizen alike, until Constantine I promoted Christianity.
10. I am an old, crumbling building still standing. I was built like a modern-day stadium, with seats surrounding me on all sides. What am I?

Answer: Colosseum

The Colosseum is actually in the city of Rome. The Parthenon is in Greece, and the Sphinx and Great Pyramid are in Egypt.
