The Picture

It shows Cicero speaking to the Senate. What about, I'm not sure, but I'm certain he's giving one of his famous speeches.

Q6: What cookies do you like best?

Oooh, I almost said Jaffa Cakes, but they're cakes, not cookies. I'd say peanut butter, triple chocolate chunks.

**V.T. Marvin** · 12-28-2008, 14:05

I see I have missed to fill in the date of Battle of Carrae, so here you are: 53 BC. Of other mistakes I am not aware

**Skullheadhq** · 12-28-2008, 14:17

The same is still wrong, and i didn't noticed the date so you were lucky

Because Q4 was so hard you can have Aratiuncula. Enjoy it!
The good answer was none. Cato Maior is one and Cato minor is too. But there were more people that had this name! now on to round 2

**V.T. Marvin** · 12-28-2008, 14:35

I see now, where my error might be: I considered the first famous Cato as Marcus Porcius Cato (Cato the Elder, or Cato the Censor, 234BC–149BC), the second his son from the first marriage Marcus Porcius Cato Licinianus and from that I skipped diretly to the third famous Cato Marcus Porcius Catō Uticēnsis (Cato the Younger, 95BC–46BC).

But your intent might be to go through the Cato family line step by step, whereby there are several candidates for the third Cato: (1.) Marcus Porcius Cato, son of Cato Licinianus, consul 118 BC, (2.) his brother Gaius Porcius Cato, consul 114 BC, or (3.) Marcus Porcius Cato, son of Cato Salonianus (a son of Cato the Elder by his second wife) and father of Cato the Younger. Is this the point where I made a mistake?

EDIT:
Hoorayy! The question 4 was dropped after all and I have my aratiuncula to enjoy!

**Skullheadhq** · 12-28-2008, 14:40

yes, There are new questions now! But you can only win one balloon!
Come on people! Answers i want to see

**Subotan** · 12-28-2008, 15:32

Wouldn't be better to ask one question each time, then people can't copy answers off other people (I didn't copy off V.T. , but I looked over afted I had answered and saw how how similar the answers were.)

**Skullheadhq** · 12-28-2008, 16:01

well... if someone told the good answers i will start the next round. There are 4 rounds because there are 4 balloons to be given away. We are now in round 2.
