I took a college art history class, and after we got our tests back that covered Rome & Greece, the professor said that someone left the question blank or put the wrong name down where they had to identify a slide of the Roman Coliseum.
The question required that the name of the structure, location, time period & civilization be in the answer.
My professor was surprised that there was anyone in the class that couldn't at least name the structure.
The Coliseum does seem like it's too well-known for the average college student not to be able to name it, right?

Uh, it's possible the person just forgot to label the slide. Some people don't hold up well under exam pressure and become careless when answering questions. It's not that big of a deal, really. If it really flummoxed your professor, s/he should have just asked the student about it PRIVATELY instead of making him/her feel like a complete a** by mentioning it in front of the entire class.
As for your last question, I'm sure plenty of college students couldn't tell you who currently holds key government positions (say, Senate Majority Leader or Secretary of State). So I wouldn't exactly be surprised if "the average college student" couldn't identify the Coliseum. However, it would be a little surprising if a student who just completed an art history class couldn't identify it.

Yes, you're right. Especially if you all had been in class and read your text books.
But, stranger things have happened.
