The Roman Forum at dusk, the day of Caesar's funeral. Mark Antony stands on the speaker's platform beside the bier and holds up Caesar's bloodstained toga to a vast crowd. People wave torches, soldiers stand by with their shields, wreaths lie on the bier, and a dog runs through the crowd.
Antony's speech will decide what Rome does next. Seven puzzles stand between you and its end. Solve them all, and one last word names what the speech stirred up.
Crossword — speeches, the crowd and grief, in Latin from Book 4.
Anagrams — unscramble seven words from the funeral.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — two verbs, faciō ("do") and dīcō ("say"), in the subjunctive in indirect questions.
Picture Count — reassemble the Forum, then count what you see.
Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Every answer box checks itself. Spelling and capitals are forgiving, and macrons are never needed.
Sixteen words from Caesar's funeral. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Eight cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the eight red letters:

Flamma — fire. When Antony held up the torn and bloodstained toga and read out Caesar's will, the crowd's grief turned to fury. They built Caesar's pyre in the Forum itself, then ran with burning torches to the houses of his murderers.
