Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Whom did G. Julius Caesar name as his heir?

Answer: Gaius Octavius (Octavian)

Octavian was only 19 years old when he found out that he was heir to the most powerful man in the world. Ptolemy Caesarion was Caesar's son by Cleopatra.
2. Who were the members of the Second Triumvirate?

Answer: Octavian, Antony, and M. Lepidus

The Second Triumvirate, unlike the first, was an official creation.
3. What was the name of the Egyptian queen that Mark Antony was in love with?

Answer: Cleopatra

According to ancient sources, she was not particularly beautiful but did have great charm, as well as political savvy.
4. At what battle did the forces of Octavian beat those of Antony?

Answer: Actium

It was a naval battle.
5. How did the Queen of Egypt who was in love with Marc Antony die?

Answer: She killed herself, probably by the bite of an asp (cobra).

There are various theories but there is little firm evidence about how she died.
6. What was the name of Octavian's right hand man and general, the victor at the battle in which he defeated Antony and Cleopatra?

Answer: Agrippa

Octavian was unusual in that he was the first person to gain ultimate power in Rome without being a good general (though he was competent.) He had his friend Agrippa to thank for that!
7. What name (or title) did Octavian take as Emperor?

Answer: Augustus

The month of August was named after him (as July was for Caesar.) It had previously been called 'Sextillis'.
8. What year was Octavian given the title that he took as Emperor?

Answer: 27 B.C.

It took him 17 years after his adopted step-father's assassination to secure his rule over Rome.
9. What name is given to the two centuries of largely unbroken world peace which Octavian ushered in?

Answer: Pax Romana

'Pax Romana' is Latin for 'Roman Peace', and was the longest time period without major wars in Europe,
10. Who was the second Emperor of Rome?

Answer: Tiberius

He was not Augustus' first choice as an heir, but the other choices had all died by the time Augustus died.
