This is a really tough question, but when I was asked this question today-I did get it right the first time-I swear…What world capital has a name, though named after its founder, that is derived from a Roman Imperial title?
The answer is Pretoria, the executive capital of South Africa which is named after its founder Andries Pretorius. A praetorian guard was the emperor’s private guard in the Roman Empire, the order being founded by emperor Augustus.
Just a guess-Canberra?
It’s not Canberra, but stick with the Commonwealth countries.
Bucharest?
It’s not Bucharest, hint-it’s in Africa
Pretoria?
Correct, how’d you get that?! Haha, good job buddy.
Only of the African capital that I know of that sounds Italian
