Welcome to the Certamen Historicum
Salvete omnes,
Welcome to the Certamen Historicum, the historical quiz.
To celebrate the anniversary of the founding of Nova Roma, the quiz this time is about our own Nova Roma history.
This is a great opportunity to see how much we can remember, or, for newer citizens, to help you learn about what has happened in our Republic. So please take part, join in the fun, and let's see how much we know, or can find out, about our own past.
There are three sets of eight questions. One mark will be given for each correct answer. Where there is more than one element in the question, a mark will be given for each element answered correctly.
The answers should all be found in and around the Nova Roma web pages. To give you all enough research time, the answers must reach me by 6pm Rome time on Friday 29 February.
Please send your answers to me at the following email address: jbshr1pwa@btinternet.com
So here we go with the first eight questions. Good luck and happy hunting.
