mikro´s big history quizz

Personally, I'm thinking it has to be a prominent figure in teh Roman Empire or Republic, but I can't find anything that would fit. The term "cauliflower ears" seems to refer to wrestlers, but I can't really find anything that fits.

ok, next question: shortly after the men with the cauliflower ears defeated them, the citizens of a big town decided to kill a fat ugly old man who was like a fly that stings a horse. who was this man and how did he die?

a man who is like a horse fly?, men with cauliflower ears could be rugby players

like i said, this is close, but not yet. its not just wrestlers, actually it was fashion among the citizens of a certain state...

@mongolia: no, no rugby players but, yeah, he called himself a horse fly that was gonna get killed for stinging the horse. well, he didnt say it himself, for he never wrote a thing down, but his friends did for him, and they put those words in his mouth. damn, this is a direct hint again, i didnt want to give you hints this time

socretes

how did he die?

executed by poison for treason

alright, you got it! we have a winner!

the next question tomorrow, i´m going to sleep now bye
