Wow, 8/10. I never do this well on these city quizzes. Of course the ancient history stuff helped a lot. The pentagon option just seemed like it’d be right because it was interesting.

You can probably lose the "AD" additions in your questions. If it's not BC/BCE, it can only be AD/CE. Also, you have "AD" preceding one of the dates, following another date, and missing entirely in two other dates.

Wikipedia says "His surname literally means "The one from Baghdad" and denotes that he was from Baghdad city or Baghdad governorate in Iraq".

Also Quizmaster added that one, not me.
