Surprised he hasn't popped up before in 200+ games but... good guess and perfect for the site. The list of candidates is starting to dwindle fairly fast.

This seems likely to be a wasted question, since we know they're a native speaker of Latin/Romance, but but not born in the Roman state. Can you think if someone born before 100 who fits that?

I remember guessing him on a round a while back.

Nice! My degree is in Political Science, and we read "The Prince" as part of our political philosophy course. Macchiavelli gets a bum rap from those who say he was an immoral schemer. He was not talking about what politicians should do ethically; he was talking about what effective politicians do do.

Anyway, thanks for the game. Game 222 goes up shortly.

While it is possible that Machiavelli was being sarcastic, it's also very easy to read him as having been dead serious.
