Good quiz! I think you should accept common English equivalents for some of these, e.g. Lucrece for Lucretia, century for centuria

You allow 'Etruscans' but not 'Etruscan'!

Vestals should be accepted too. That's how we always refer to them in Italy: le Vestali

"Century" for "Centuria" and "Cloaca Maximus" for "Cloaca Maxima" please (in fact "Cloaca should be enough, if you know "cloaca" you pretty much know the answer).

Really liked this, thanks

Lars Porsena of Clusium,

by the nine gods he swore,

that the great house of Tarquin,

should suffer wrong no more,

By the Nine Gods he swore it,

and named a trysting day,

and bade his messengers ride forth,

east and west and south and north,

to summon his array.
