Daily Quiz

Sunday January 23, 2005
There is now a quiz question of the day, with 365 questions about articles and discussions on this Ancient/Classical history site.

Some questions are about myth and legend, while others are about history proper. As with most areas of ancient history, we may not know a given "fact" for sure, so make your guess based on what is currently held true by standard academic historians and archaeologists.
Some questions are very hard and a few are very easy. I have tried to include resources to explain the answers, but without giving the answer away, so don't look to the title of the related link at the test bottom to make your decisions. The related link should in most cases, however, help you figure out why the answer is the one I've selected.
Please let me know if you're certain there is an error. Some questions are tricky:
