@augustav @brucelawson I had a go; I'm not great on faces but, working on the principle that Vespasian is usually bald and bullet-headed, I identified him as A2.
I had a feeling that weird hair (actually mostly a wreath) was Domitian; I checked, and D1 is definitely him, A4 probably someone else also in a wreath [had a quick look and it's Claudius].
The one I had no idea about was Titus; I can't remember ever seeing his image. But it turns out he looks like his dad, with more hair; he's C3.

Ok
You know your emperors
Whenever my family jokes about me taking about something roman, I tell them about you, recognizing an emperor, because he looks like his father a bit. -

@brucelawson that's awesome. I'm in the US and I mess up the CAPCHA tests all the time. Especially the clicking all the tiles with a part of the bike or stop light in it. By the way, I would totally fail this CAPCHA as well.

@brucelawson I recognize a fair few of these. The busts, not the emperors. I think C3 is called Maximus or something similar? He was declared a traitor by the emperor that followed him and that's why his nose was broken off (off of his busts, I think he was dead by this point).

@brucelawson @patterfloof I once had a captcha ask me to to select all the tractors.
It refused to continue with the tractor selected unless I had also selected a telehandler and a combine harvester.. Don't tell me I haven't selected all the tractors if your system doesn't know what a tractor is!

Uhhm. You know many italian study latin at high school, right?
“Homo sum.” is sufficient.
Look like you used some AI. Surprise. Latin is way too context-lacking for most AIs…

You successfully revealed yourself as an AI and therefore failed.

Sometimes, however, there are also really simple ones. Like this.

@augustav @brucelawson@alchemist @augustav @brucelawson One complication is that my generation imprinted on the BBC dramatisation of I, Claudius, and think Claudius looked like Derek Jacobi and Tiberius like George Baker, etc etc. But they really, really, didn't. So I had a hazy feeling I recognised A4, but it took me two guesses to reach Claudius.

@uriel Nah, just translation software.

@brucelawson Oh dammit... The time spent since I studied them is close to the age of the statues.
Right. When I learned Latin, it was considered current affairs.
