Ludi Certamen: Regulations
The games were always intended to be fun for the participants, and that is true here too. The Certamen of these Ludi Cereales will not be limited in scope to plebeian history, or even Roman history; every bit of knowledge out there is fair game for these ludi, and things far and wide shall be asked. Answers and results will be given on the final day of the games, 19 April.
The regulations are simple to follow, and are these:
Entry
- All citizens are invited to participate in these games. The greater the participation, the greater the fun.
- Responses to the questions posed must be submitted to Aedilis Metellus with "Ludi Cereales Certamen" in the Subject line. Responses must also include the name of the citizen entering the games, the number corresponding to the questions being answered, and, of course, the answers themselves.
- Responses must give complete answer to the question. If ever there is a question, the presiding aedile reserves the right to reject a response or request clarification of an answer.
- Answers to all questions must be received by 06:00 a.m. Roman Time, 19 April to be considered.
Rules
- Disqualification: An entrant may be disqualified for giving answers to other competitors. It rests at the discretion of the presiding aedilis whether an entrant should be disqualified.
- Qualification: A citizen wishing to enjoy oneself while expanding their knowledge and showing one's knowledge is qualified to participate.
And so, Quirites, on to the games
Questions
Tabula Prima (a.d. XVIII Kal. Mai.)
- Bringing in 52 points in the Series I Ludi Circenses Championship of 2761, this charioteer whose name is pronounced with supreme difficulty for most English speakers prefers to be called "Eva", so says her patron. What is her name?

- A Roman citizen, preferring death to possible clemency, commonly known by the epithet 'the Younger', chose to take his life than allow whatever might have been. In the HBO series "Rome", he was in the company of another very prominent Roman who commanded the "Republican" army at Thapsus and was killed in battle. Who is this one killed in battle?
- This isotope, known by a name chosen based on the contents of the nucleus of its atom, containing one proton and one neutron, is a stable isotope of the most abundant chemical element, which comprises roughly three-quarters the Universe's total mass. What is the name of this isotope?
