Rome, the night before the Ides of March. Marcus Brutus stands by his bed, unable to sleep, reading one of the many letters that strangers have thrown into his house: "Brutus, are you asleep? Wake up!" His wife Portia watches from the doorway, slaves hold burning torches, and swords lie ready on the table.
Tomorrow he must decide. Seven puzzles stand between Brutus and the dawn. Solve them all, and one last word names what he believes he is fighting for.
Crossword — plots, Rome and the night, in Latin from Book 3.
Anagrams — unscramble seven words from a sleepless night.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — two verbs, dormiō ("sleep") and legō ("read"), in the subjunctive after cum: imperfect and pluperfect.
Picture Count — reassemble Brutus' room, 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.
Fifteen words from a night of plotting. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Six cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the six red letters:
Seven words from a sleepless night. Unscramble each one.

Crēdit — he believes. By dawn Brutus has made up his mind: Caesar wants to be king, and only his death can keep Rome free. He takes up his dagger and goes to the Senate.
