Time Traveler Quiz: Can You Name the Century By the Event?

“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." – Edmund Burke

If you do know history but you still want to repeat it, travel back in time across the centuries from the year 1 to the year 2000. Jump in your time machine and visit the early years of the 1st century A.D., when the first stones of the Colosseum were being laid. Fast forward a few hundred years to the 4th century, when Constantine the Great was spreading his greatness all over the empire. Skip ahead several centuries to the 16th century, and watch Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel.
