Centurion-Macro Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 This is a quiz I made about the Roman Legions. I wanted to see how you guys like it and what scores you get. To participate you really do have to know a lot about the different legions and where they were stationed etc. I have proofread it, but knowing me there might be a mistake or two, so if you spot any mistakes I am sorry about that. http://www.funtrivia.com/quizdetails.cfm?quiz=320819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maty Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Congrats on an interesting and challenging quiz. Not sure about the famous vanishing ninth in Scotland though, as I thought the latest opinion was that they vanished later, in Germany or Judea. Also (and this is perhaps somewhat nitpicking) the Pompeian legions from Spain were disbanded and reformed a couple of times before they became permanent establishments, and in this they were more like the original legions of the Republic which only lasted for a campaign. However, I'm sure that others who specialize in this field will be able to add more informed comment. I got the one about Diocletiana wrong (drat!) so will retaliate with a legion trivia question of my own. Which legion was originally raised by a non-Roman king?

Thank for telling me what I have done wrong. I am making another quiz and I shall try for harder questions. ~Also, I have no idea. You got me, I honestly don't know that question's answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I got #5 wrong... the Herculia threw me off a bit as I was never very strong in the later imperial legions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. That is why I had a hard time finding late imperial legions, as I do not know many myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
