Colors of the rainbow:
ROYGBIV (so if we are going from left to right, red, yellow, green)

Here's my stab at the history question:
The Punic wars are the latest (Rome and Carthage)
I believe the Persian Wars come first in history - uniting Greece (Athens and Sparata anyway) against Persia. The Peloponnesian Wars followed, between Athens and Sparta.

Ted is, of course, correct for both. He probably has read about the wars in the original Greek.

(from earliest to latest)
Persian Wars (500-449 BC)
Peloponnesian Wars (431-404 BC)
Punic Wars (264-146 BC)
