'Epoch' is used much less frequently in history than 'era' (e.g., the "Era of Good Feelings" in U.S. history).

'Epoch' is more commonly used in geological or paleontological contexts; you might consider specifying the latter rather than just 'history'.

Since era is not a 5-letter word, I think it's safe to assume that it's not a possible answer.

Yeah you should probably specify that it's a word commonly used by Karl Marx since 'era' is much more widespread in history than 'epoch'.

I do not know how I got Owens. I knew it started with an o and ended with s and somehow the first name that came to my mind was Owens. So I guess I did hear of him before, even if I can't remember that I ever did ^^

Given that the northeastern border of the Roman empire was Armenia shouldn't the clue be north western?

Yea that threw me, the Rhine ends in the Netherlands and the Netherlands is in the Northwest. Everything below the Rhine was part of The Roman empire (at its height).

The Rhine is definitely not in the Northeast of the Roman empire

Not sure how I came up with Nubia probably from some song like I think Notorious B.I.G. might have mentioned something Nubian in Party and Bull

Aesop is not Greek, he was an Ethiopian taken as a slave by Iadmon and forced to Greece.

Pretty much nothing is know for certain about Aesop, but some traditions (mainly based on his name) say he might have been from Thrace or Phrygia, none of which are even close to Ethiopia. Where the hell are you getting Ethiopia from?

There are like ten cities whose cathedral is called Notre Dame in France. Some of them are well known too. The kings of France were crowned in the Notre Dame of Reims and the one in Amiens is a classical example of gothic architecture
