	This quiz asks you to provide the names of the capital cities of countries which no longer exist. It is meant to be hard, so you can feel good about yourself if you get somewhere around ten of the fifteen. Please note that the answers are not necessarily the only capitals of the listed nations at any point, only during the periods listed in the right-hand column. Please comment if you have any questions or concerns.

	Great idea. I hope this one makes the front page.

	I took this before I even realized it was jake(based on your comment to warren) great job. I got 7, but I might have come up with another two if it was so hard to spell Tenōchtitlan.

	Toulouse was the capital of the Visigoths, not the Franks. The Merovingian Franks were based much further north, and didn't really have a capital.

	I'm pretty sure the Merovingian Franks did have a capital, albeit one that tended to move around. Each monarch would designate his own capital city - I know later kings made capitals at Rheims and Paris, among others. After Clovis I conquered the Visigoths, he continued to use their capital at Toulouse for the remainder of his reign. However, it would probably be a better idea to change the clue to "Visigothic Kingdom," as Toulouse definitely was their capital for a much longer period of time.

	Angkor should be the capital of the Khmer empire. Then it would cover both the early Jayavarmans and the new city of Jayavarman VII.

	VERY intriguing quiz, but I recommend citing a source other than Wikipedia, otherwise you can expect your quiz to disappear.

	Could you make it so that the Neo-Assyrian Empire accepts either answer, I tried them both separately(but forgot the H in the first) and didn't get it. Very nice quiz otherwise, quite challenging!
