So I had a hazy feeling I recognised A4, but it took me two guesses to reach Claudius.

You know many italian study latin at high school, right?

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! πŸ˜‰

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).
