Sed Augustus esse volo!

Princeps Senatus You scored 85%!

Congratualtions! You have been voted to be the First Counselor of the Senate. Your eloquence with the Latin tongue is well-known, and you have been elevated to a position of authority within the Senate. You are always the first to speak at the Senate meetings (after the Emperor, of course) and are a very powerful ally (or enemy) to have. More than likely, you have the backing of some of the military, which could come in handy should you ever decide that being the Princeps Senatus is not enough for you...

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Knowledge

*smug* same here!

I got to be Emperor, but perhaps I had an unfair advantage. Anyway, if you're likely to be after my throne, I think I'll abdicate now...

Apart from the advantage of getting out alive, I think you'd do a better job... :-)

Rats. Only a senator (65%).

Still, since the only latin I remeber is down to botany, I don't feel too bad.

Crikey. I managed 100%. Not quite sure how, mind: I couldn't have translated half of them without multiples choices, but I obviously remember enough Latin to spot the right sentence structure and some of the words.

95% made me First Counselor to the Senate.

However, like chocaholic7, my translations would have been very iffy without the multi-choice suggestions. But it seems I remember more of my O-level Latin than I thought!

as I said elsewhere, I got Princeps, too -- but with 95%! I blame the pinot grigio, and the lack of a dictionary!

I got 70% -- not bad for never having studied Latin!

I got 95%. Maybe never studying Latin actually helps on this one? That and singing in a chamber choir.
