EB quiz

**anubis88** · 10-25-2010, 16:24

A fun thread (at least i hope

).

Post questions that you think many people will not know the answer, but you will. Once a question has been answered, the one who answers it, can ask a new question. I hope it makes sense... I think this is a fun way to enhance our knowledge of a rough EB timeframe.

So, my question is as follows

Why the the Romans call the Numidians the way they did - Numidiae?

This does sound quite fun!

If not, I guess appearance?

It's from Latin nomas, meaning "wandering shepherd (the genitive is nomadis - that's where our word 'nomad' comes from)

Not very well unfortunately :P I think I got 4 or 5 without needing help.

I got about half without help. Couldn't spell viriathus and xanthippos properly though. Also, two handed lance could be either xyston or kontos. Either one works there.
