Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 23 Aug 2006, 18:47

Well ... here it is ... with the promised twist to the quiz ... Place-names in Latin â€¦ all you have to do is match them up to their modern names. An easy one! Because of the amount of googling thatâ€™ll be going on â€¦ this is more a test of speed. You have to quicker than the others at posting! (Or have less of a life, but thatâ€™s a moot point!)

1. Ulyssipo (Lisbon)
2. Amesburiensis (Amesbury)
3. Ultrajectum (Utrecht)
4. Lindum Coloniae (Lincoln)
5. Venetiae ... (Venice)
6. Wiltoniensis (Wilton)
7. Elgensis (Elgin)
8. Rothomagensis (Rouen)
9. Hostiensis (Ostia)
10. Ianuensis (Genova)
11. Lutetia (Paris)
12. Schireburnensis
13. Mantua Carpetanorum
14. Neubrigensis
15. Oeniponte
16. Parthenope
17. Genabum
18. Regiomontium
19. Salisburgensis
20. Monumetensis
21. Taurinum
22. Barchino (Barcelona)
23. Vindobona (Vienna)
24. Eboracum (York)
25. Wigorniensis (Worcester)
26. Durnovaria Regnensium
27. Wintoniensis (Wilton)
28. Toletanum (Toledo)
29. Tridentum (Trent)
30. Ambrosianum (Milan)

Good luck ... may the best person win!

Oh well, Cleopas, this one ain't for me. I haven't got a clue about any of them and I'm too lazy to google. I prefer the cryptic quizzes. I'll be popping in to see who's winning though.

Maybe Cleopus will start a poetry quiz next round. Latin isn't my favorite subject.

Hmmm ... I think this is a mistake. I thought everyone would be up for this.

Okay ... sorry people ... but no scores will stand. There is obviously no real interest in this quiz.

Quiz Abandoned!!!

I'll post up the next one in rotation instead!

And I apologise.
