	Not that I got a lot of these right, but how about Cassius Dio

	Satyricon is no longer an accurate title for that work. Classicists call it Satyrica now.

	Might need a bit more of a hint for Lucilius. Good quiz. I was going to make one like this, but you beat me to it. Also might want to include Livius Andronicus, Naevius, and Propertius.

	You may wish to consider Plutarch, even though he was originally Greek.

	Vetruvius? De architectura! Cracking read. Great quiz by the way- 5/5.

	Be consistent whether you're using Latin or English titles.

	Latin titles may academically correct but the English ones would make the quiz more accessible, just a thought.

	Please accept Plinius the younger/elder for Pliny the younger/elder

	Would it be possible to include the full names as alternate answers?

	@Tyrael: didn’t Plutarch write in Greek, though? @keener: no love for Propertius?

	Good quiz, and yes, full names are awesome! :)And I think Satyricon is fine because that's how most people think of it. But I think you should make people specify Cato the Elder and Seneca the Elder...especially the latter, since Seneca the Younger wrote a great deal.
