I've 99.9% finished a quiz on medical treatments in ancient Rome gathered from Pliny the Elder's books "Naturalis Historica". The medical treatments include things like mouse dung, hyena bones and vinegar. It's not exactly medicine as we know it. wink So.. does this quiz belong in the Ancient History category or will it find a home the History of Medicine category or somewhere else?

Thanks for your help. Tizzabelle smile

I could take a look at it and see if it's suitable for History of Medicine. I presume you are writing it offline, as I didn't find it under your account?

I was expecting from your notes above that ('I'm putting the quiz online right now!") you would submit the quiz. It hasn't shown up in the queue yet for me to check it out.

Oops. Apologies crisw. I assumed (something I should never do) that you wanted to check it out before I submitted it to figure out which category it should go in to. I'll do the final typo checking shortly and submit it into History of Medicine if that suits you. Thanks very much, Tizzabelle smile

Intriguing or stomach turning? Perhaps a bit of both! I had quite a few laughs researching it smile

Nice quiz. I especially loved the part of taking an elephant up six stores.
