Faventianus dies in re-enactment.

Many died in battle that day.
(In fact, did anyone survive this event? )

Funny drawing of the "Heart attack" - but I don't think it's from that dagger, I think it's because of the goober behind the victim who's going to give some really bad Hiemlich maneuver or really bad CPR. His buddy should not have skipped out on CPR class!

Here's another test, which lets you know which historical general you are most like:

Heh. I'm Scipio, 'smart and ruthless'.

I found some of the question (particularly those about torture and 'helping the good guys against a bad ruler') very suspect.
Almost as if someone, using the test, also wanted to find out what the support was for the actions of the current US government.

In my case, I'm against torture. Period. I mean, kill prisoners if it endangers the mission - fine. But torture, no way.
The question 'what if the captive know something' is totally ridiculous - you cant know that unless you're a mind reader, in which case you don't need torture.

Torture is just for the sake of breaking someone, or for the sake of the torturer, it's never to do with intelligence. It's an established fact that intelligence gained from torture is almost always useless or false. Which is a lesson learnt I suppose during Roman times as well as governments in the current era (I hope!).

Nice test,
although as Julius Caesar not a good future! hock:
But I tend to the less military oriented stuff. Looking at that you think the only goal in life is to bash someones head.
