	For religion, you could also accept pagan or polytheism/polytheist. Also, there's a lot of debate as to when to date the fall of Rome. You could accept some other dates too.

	It is 27 BC, not AD

	This quiz makes no sense. I was willing to buy you defining it as before the east/west split. But you haven't done that. Romulus Augustulus is only the last emperor of the Western Empire, the last emperor of the East (and Roman ever) was Constantine XI. The same can be levied at your "fall of Rome" date which only works when taken literally.

	good idea but poorly executed. should probably list things more logically, like first emperor before last emperor. also, you need to accept some alternatives: SPQR (which was still officially used on coins etc.) for name, Christian and Polytheism/Pagan/Imperial Cult for religions, and maybe Greek for language. when you do anything with Rome/Latin, people are going to be meticulous and very demanding so good luck.

	Mithraism? Good effort, worth refining

	even though the fall of romeis debated, 476 is whats taught in schools and most commonly published in books, so it should stay the primary answer

	This quiz refers to the traditional date of the Fall of Rome, 476. I don't think it's that hard to figure out.

	I'd also like to see "Roman gods" or even "traditional gods" and other possible answers relating to pantheism accepted for religion.

	They would have called it Imperium Romanum, not Roman Empire, Roman Pantheon and autocracy have plenty of alternative answers, the city of Rome fell in 410, so you should include Mediolanum as a capital.

	Great idea, but it wouldn't accept Imperium Romanum, polytheism/polytheistic and it accepts 27, but then says it's 27AD, which is wrong. It should be made clear that the last emperor question only refers to the western empire, and 'style' should be added after the word 'government', as it's not clear what that question means. But it's a good idea otherwise.

	@Irishhavs: It's hard to figure out if you actually know your history, which is the complete opposite of what a good quiz should be.

	Byzantium should be acceptable as well as Constantinople for the later capital.
