Finally, a CAPTCHA that doesn't require me to instantly know what American fire hydrants or school buses look like.

@brucelawson ok
Call me uneducated
But I don't know every emperor shown there
Sorry

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@brucelawson Oh dammit... The time spent since I studied them is close to the age of the statues.

@Quoidian
You assume correctly. Only men were allowed to hold political office.
@brucelawson

[harrietmonkhouse@mcr.wtf]

@augustav @brucelawson Luckily, in this case you only need to know three of them.

[alchemist@troet.cafe]

@brucelawson
Here, it works the other way around: anyone who selects all of them correctly is a machine.

@brucelawson

what's that Antonine doing in there?

[stevendbrewer@wandering.shop]

@brucelawson None, obviously. These are just statues. The emperors are all long dead.

@Infrapink @brucelawson upper right and lower left?

@augustav I think that's the point of the joke.

[augustav@troet.cafe]

@HarrietMonkhouse @brucelawson uff
That's not that hard
Thanks

@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.

[augustav@troet.cafe]

@HarrietMonkhouse @brucelawson
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.

[harrietmonkhouse@mcr.wtf]

@augustav No, I recognised Titus because I looked him up and found the same photo. *Then* I thought "looks like his dad, not his bro".

[jpnicolai@metalhead.club]

@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.

[drgroftehauge@sigmoid.social]

@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).
