Guest wcmiker Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I created a history trivia game over the summer. There aren't many questions or anything yet, but it is playable. You can submit your own questions to the database too, so you can submit a bunch of questions on the Roman Empire if you want. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

But the questions seem repeating a lot I would suggest you to make an accumulation of marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wcmiker Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yeah, there are only 50 questions in the database so far. Slowly but surely, that number should rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Augusta Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Talking of Trivia - I have been chosen as a candidate for my local amateur dramatic theatre's annual 'Mastermind' contest on 27th October. My specialist subject will be the Julio-Claudian Emperors, and the questions, I believe, have been set by my old Latin teacher - god help me! All your prayers are solicited.

The Augusta Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Our esteemed Triumvir, Primus Pilus, asked me to pass on the questions from my little Mastermind quiz last night. I gave it a good go, and got all my JC questions right, but passed on a few general knowledges (I had no idea that Margaret Beckett took caravanning holidays! - does anyone care? ) so I came joint second from 10 contenders, and I was beaten by a lady whose specialist subject was the first three Famous Five Novels of Enid Blyton! Well, it takes all sorts.... Here are the questions - all extremely easy, I thought: I will not append the answers, in case anyone 'wants a go'. 1. What relation was Tiberius to Augustus? 2. When Augustus named Tiberius as his heir, he stipulated that his nephew Germanicus should succeed Tiberius. What happened to prevent this? 3. Why, in 29AD did Tiberius banish Agrippina and her sons, Drusus and Nero? 4. Who succeeded Sejanus as commander of Tiberius's Praetorian GUard? 5. Tiberius died in 37AD. He had not lived in Rome for ten year. Where had he been living? 6. How did Tiberius's successor, Gaius, come to be called Caligula? 7.Whom did Caligula adopt as his heir? 8. What were the names of Caligula's two [sic] sisters? [i corrected this!] 9. How and at whose hands did Caligula die? 10. How was Claudius related to Caligula? 11. Name Claudius's third and fourth wives. 12. What surname was given to Claudius's son Tiberius Claudius and why? 13. During the last years of his reign three men, Callistus, Narcissus and Pallas gained great influence over Claudius. What was remarkable about this? 14. By what name is Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus better known? 15. How old was Nero when he succeeded Claudius? 16. Name the tutor of Nero who exterted great influence over him? 17. On Nero's instructions his mother, Agrippina, was battered to death. There had been a previous attempt on her life. Describe it. 18. What was Nero doing for most of 67-68AD? 19. What was the name of the Prefect of the Praetorian Guard who is often called 'Nero's evil genius'? 20. When fire ravaged Rome in 64AD why was it widely believed that Nero had insitgated the fire? .................................................................................................................................... So, there you are - I told you they were easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 So, there you are - I told you they were easy. Perhaps true for those versed in the details of the Julio-Claudians, but still a nice collection of trivia. Thanks Augusta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotWotius Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) Very easy indeed. However, the only question that I was unable to answer was number 4). (edit) ...the answer just dawned on me now: it was Macro. Edited October 29, 2006 by WotWotius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
