Nice! Only suggestion is to add ... to the start of question 4 to make it clear it's a follow on (regardless, I am quite confused on how I thought Hannibal fought against Carthage lol)

And maybe you could make 9 easier by asking what Domitius declared himself emperor of (or say leader of ot disguise the Roman-ness?)? Maybe that's then too easy and I underestimate how much people know about emperors haha bc I had no idea other than not Nero
