Hi,
I wanted to check if it is correct to have these other translations:

II. 1. Illud proelium factum est tum cum Rōmae eram.

1. Pugnātum est tum cum Rōmae eram.
2. Cum equitēs cum nūmerō paucī essent, tamen nōn sē recepērunt.

Thank you.

2. Cum equitēs cum nūmerō paucī essent, tamen nōn sē recepērunt.

Thank you.

The first two sentences look fine to me. Remove the first cum in the last.

[Anto]

Remove the first cum in the last.

Yes, you are right, I forgot to remove it.
Thank you.
