Accept Pontus for Pontic, and Dacia for Dacians. For Germanic Tribes, perhaps accept the major ones like Franks, Burgundians, Vandals, etc. Seleucids and Ptolemies are misspelled.

The Goths, of course, were also a Germanic tribe. What about the Sassanids?

Technically, Theodoric was an Ostrogoth. Perhaps add that as an accepted answer. (I don't have have a convincing argument for dropping "Goths" as an answer, though.) Also, can you accept "Macedon" for "Macedonia"? (Seems to be used more commonly in English for the ancient state)

I am not a Sporcle geek, but I know enough about History that some of these (such as Carthage) were defeated before the Roman Empire was founded (when Rome was still a Republic). 'Enemies of the Ancient Romans' would make a more historically correct title.

I really like the idea of this quiz, but a few things need fixing (some of which mentioned above). I suggest at least including the Vandals, and the Teutons and Cimbri from the Cimbrian war; a major but overlooked Roman war.
