Question: 1 / 400

Who invented the codex?

Julius Caesar

Aristotle

Herodotus

The Romans

The correct answer for who invented the codex is actually "D The Romans" due to its invention in Rome around the first century CE. Although the other options may have played a role in developing the concept of a book, they did not actually invent the codex. Option A, Julius Caesar, was a military and political leader who lived centuries before the invention of the codex. Option B, Aristotle, was a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BCE, before the codex was invented. Option C, Herodotus, was a Greek historian who also lived before the invention of the codex. Therefore, while these individuals may have contributed to the foundation of knowledge and writing systems, they did not directly invent the codex.
