I am not sure if this is the right forum, but here it goes.

These are some questions on my homework that I don't know the answer to. Can anyone help me out?

Technical term for the standard of a legion
Two Members of the Capitoline Triad.
Techinal Term for the Colosseum and other arenas within the Empire.

Thanks.

It wouldn't be right to do your homework for you, but how about some guesses:
1) Vexillum
2) Iupiter, Iuno & Minerva
3) Haven't a clue.

Circus for no. 3?

i think the "technical" term for no. 3, if there is such a thing, would be amphitheatrum.

signum might be more accurate for no. 1:

Yes, it is amphitheatrum.

And thanks for all the help. All the answers were right.
