Roman Quiz


Re: Quiz - Praefectusclassis - 02-13-2006

Interesting. Of course all RAT-ers will be interested(?) to see that the correct answer to 'What is a centurion' according to this website is someone who is in command of 100 men...


Re: Quiz - Tarbicus - 02-13-2006

Was a century not originally one hundred men, later reduced to eighty?


Re: Quiz - Praefectusclassis - 02-13-2006

Do you really want to go into the old centurial army organization? :wink:

i remember an old topic about that one. As i recall there was a guy who also got that question in a quiz (for money) and sued the quiz because of this answer.


Re: Quiz - Tarbicus - 02-13-2006

Wasn't that something to do with the difference between a maniple and a century or cohort, or something like that?


Re: Quiz - Susanne - 02-13-2006

This quiz was too easy! Smile


Re: Quiz - Tarbicus - 02-13-2006

Aha! I'll bet you got the centurion question wrong. But then again, you might have been correct... :?


Re: Quiz - Susanne - 02-13-2006

I got 7 of 8 correct answers. And yes, I got the Centurion question wrong, obviously. Wink

How dare they give fallible info like this?


Re: Quiz - Dan Diffendale - 02-13-2006

I think it has to do with how many poles a maniple could pull if a maniple could pull poles...


Re: Quiz - Susanne - 02-14-2006

Or lightbulbs. Smile


Re: Quiz - Tasciavanous - 02-14-2006

Is this like how many maniples could dance on the head of a pin?


Re: Quiz - Praefectusclassis - 02-14-2006

No, before that. Big Grin
