| According to Wikipedia, Alesia isn't Paris. There have been doubts as to where it actually was, but current thinking is near Dijon (which is still in France, so the quiz answer isn't wrong, though the clue is perhaps unintentionally obscure). The Roman town that became Paris was called Lutetia - which I would have got straight off.
I agree that with only 10 questions in the quiz, typing one answer shouldn't get you two of them. Either make people guess the modern city name or have only one per country. There are loads of other Roman names you could use (eg Eboracum > York, UK) but you could make it more diverse by including something from Africa (ideally south of the Sahara rather than another from the ancient mediterranean), south Asia or even (never thought I'd say this) the US. |
