The question does say 'in ancient Rome'

[Mamyalynne]

It doesn't - clue is exactly as OP has posted.

[Lie-in King]

Doesn't mention Rome...

[Baldric]

I was going by an old question that came up in the search box as I don't have the Paper, you two could be slightly less abrasive

//Hi all last one, 1d ruler of the fourth part of a country in ancient rome (8) t?t?a?c? thanks//

[Mamyalynne]

Abrasive ? You used the exclamation mark and made it sound as though the asker was omitting information - add that to constant block caps and well........

[Mamyalynne]

The question you have quoted is from 2010.

The Upper case is the way most people see and enter xword answers, it has been mentioned before, and lot of people prefer it.

"You two could be slightly less abrasive" - !?!?

Bit rich after your famous "playing a blinder" quote keeps popping up along with capitalised answers that make the page look ugly - IMO, of course, wouldn't want to be seen as nit-picking...

[Baldric]

2010 eh, and the proplem is?,
It gave the correct answer,

[Baldric]

^^^^Problem . . . .doh! ^^^

Filling in the grid is different to typing on a forum page, we shall have to agree to differ on that one.

Apologies for pekoe for the digression.

Search box is good but always best to check the date and wonder if the clue is worded any differently rather than assume the OP is wrong. :-)
