The Roman Forum. A candidate in a dazzling white toga stands on the speaker's platform, promising the crowd better roads, cheaper grain and the best games Rome has ever seen. A herald stands beside him, his supporters crowd below, doves sit on a temple roof and dogs wander through the crowd.
Will they believe him? Seven puzzles stand between you and the end of the speech. Solve them all, and one last word names what every voter wants from a candidate.
Crossword — speeches, politics and the Forum, in Latin from Book 4.
Anagrams — unscramble seven words from a political speech.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — comparatives and superlatives of bonus, malus, magnus and fortis.
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 of politics. 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 political speech. Unscramble each one.

Facile — easily. The candidate promised to be the best consul Rome had ever had, the people believed him, and he was elected easily. Whether he kept his promises is another story.
