The question on the East/West split repeats. Also, Cleopatra had a son with both Caesar (Caesarion) and with Mark Antony (Alexander Helion, younger Ptolemy), so that question is confusing. The question on Caesar's assassination was also confusing, since Caesar was going to the senate, just that the senate was meeting in the theatre building, but I suppose that's a trick question.
