Answer 2

Damnatio

A condemnation bestowed on an disliked emperor after he died

Julius

Julius (fem. Julia) is the nomen of the gens Julia, an important patrician family of ancient Rome supposed to have descended from Julus, and thus from the goddess Venus. (See also: Julio-Claudian dynasty - Julia Caesaris)

Knight

In the Roman Republic, a class that was just below the level of senator. They were also know as 'equites' and had control over administration and finance

Legatus

A commander of a legion. An envoy. A general. A governor of an imperial province. A deputy to the governor of a senatorial province

Notarii

Clerks who kept the minutes of meetings. They were often promoted to senior office very rapidly

Odeum

A small theatre with a permanent roof that was used for plays, speeches and recitations

Quaestor Sacri Palatii

The highest legal officer in the empire


X The roman numerial for ten

Answer 3

D = Denarius - a unit of money
J = Jupiter - God of the sky
K = Kings Of Rome - during its first couple of centuries (753 - 515 BC), Rome was ruled by a succession of 7 kings (from Romulus to Tarquinus Superbus)
L = Legion, a division of the Roman army or Livy, Roman poet.
N = Novicius, a trainee gladiator
O = Octavian, one of the great emporors
Q = Quirinus, one of the Gods
X = The Roman numeral for ten
Y = Can't help you sorry...
Z = Zeno, Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, following its split (ruled from 474 AD)

Answer 4

D denarii- unit of money. This is the plural, can't remember the singular.
J Janus- God of gates & doors.
L Lares- the household gods. Quite small as gods go.
N Nero- one of the most famous of the insane & pox ridden emperors.
O Ostia- one of the main sea ports by which Rome 'traded' with the rest of the world.
Q Quaestor- one of the many officials of the time.
Z Zephyrus- one of the lesser wind gods
I'm not too sure they had Ks & Xs. If they did, they probably stole them from the Greeks. Since you should probably be learning this yourself for school, why not read the Lindsay Davis novels set in Roman times. Much more fun than dry old texts & you still learn. That's where I got all this stuff from.

Answer 5

d - dignitas. The pre-eminent quality of a patrician (aristocratic) citizen, rooted in rank and prestige. The more ancient and aristocratic the family, the more dignitas the family held
j - Janus, two faced god, representing gates, doorways, etc. The doors of his temple were closed in times of peace, and opened in times of war. Also, bear in mind that in the Latin alphabet, J was replaced by I , so Janus is actually Ianus, and Julius is Iulius etc
k - kings. The Romans were highly suspicious of kings and their ultimate authority - imperium. Anyone who was seen to be demonstrating the behaviours of kings the Senate attemped to punish (not very successfully, in most cases!)
l - land. Used as a reward for citizens who completed military service. Was also used as a key tool in many political battles, as whoever promised land as a reward gained the support of the peasantry.
q - quaestor. Originally assisted the consul in legal trials, and then later took on more of a financial role.

Hope these help

Answer 6

d - Emperor Domitian 81 AD - 96 AD

j - Julius Caesar; the name Octavian used after he became sole ruler of Rome with the defeat of Mark Antony and Cleaopatra at the Battle Antium. He ruled from 27 BC - 14 AD.

l - Legions; Infantry unit consisting of heavly armed soldiers. A legion was made up of 3,000 men.

n - Emperor Nero 37AD - 68 AD

o - Ops; the God of wealth

q - Quirinus; the state god under whose name Romulus was worshipped.

I couldn't find anything for k, x, y and z.

Answer 7

I actually don't know all these but I hope my knowledge about Romans and the Roman empire will help you a bit.

D- Dark Age.
The period about thousand years after the fall of Roman empire. The first part of the Medieval age is know as the dark age.
J- Emperor Joseph (1690-1705 (son of Leopold I; succeeded as Emperor Joseph I)

I- Italy the capital of Rome.

Answer 8

J - Julius Caesar was born - 100BC

O - oysters would be on a Roman Feast menu

Octavian was given the title Augustus and later became the first emporer of Rome, he restored order in the army and revived old Roman customs.
