I'm sorry, but all those questions that you guys came up with I don't think ten percent of the population anywhere in the world be able to answer those.
I think more basic questions like these would be more along the lines of answerable queries.
"What is your name?"
"How old are you?"
"Do you like ice cream?"
I kid. But I'm serious, some questions are extremely specific. The first two, about Hannibal and Carthage seem decent enough, but asking about Baktria and the development of Roman military tactics would be too much for people who don't even know where Iraq is.
I'm not even being a elitist snob.
Questions maybe like this could be acceptable:
Who were the Romans?
Who was murdered by his fellow senators, uttering the famous lines "Et tu, Brutus?"
Who were the Celts? Where did they live?
Who was Hannibal, and where did he come from?
Describe Pre-Dark Ages history of the British Isles.
If Caesar really spoke out these legendary words, It would be: Et tu Brute.
Vocative, Vocative!!
