A museum-powered history challenge

Can you identify the event from the evidence?

Choose Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Modern, or let the game surprise you. A randomly selected depiction will appear from one of three museum catalogues. Answer five close multiple-choice questions about who, what, when, where, and why. Your result stays concealed until the final answer is locked.
