20 questions

Question 1: The Roman army was primarily composed of three equally distinct groups: legionaries, auxiliaries, and centurions.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that the Roman army was made up of two separate groups: legionaries and auxiliaries. Centurions are described as leaders within the army structure, not as a third distinct group composing the army alongside legionaries and auxiliaries.

Question 3: Julius Caesar's first expedition in 55 BC found the Britons to be disorganized and easily defeated upon landing.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The text states that in 55 BC, 'The Romans were faced with serious problems' and that Britons were 'waiting for the Romans' with chariots and javelins. It also describes the Britons fighting with 'limbs free of equipment on ground they knew well', using trained horses, and that 'These dangers frightened our soldiers'. The text concludes it 'was not Caesar's greatest victory', indicating the Britons were a challenging, not easily defeated, opponent.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that legionaries were Roman citizens and served as foot-soldiers for up to 25 years. Auxiliaries were described as people from tribes the Romans had beaten, and many were archers or cavalry, not primarily foot-soldiers like the legionaries.
