I think I answered the 3rd question "Carthage and Rome" but got no credit. I think I should have.

My apologies, this is the second quiz I've authored ask I'm learning. It has been corrected to reflect your correct answer.

Since it is a quiz about Rome, it might be enough to simply ask for "Rome's adversary in the Punic Wars." Fine quiz, BTW.

Caligula is singular, not plural. I wrote small boot, but it was not accepted. For the death of Julius Caesar I wrote March 15, or 44BC, no acceptance.
