The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was born at the end of the 1st century BC in Tingentera, wrote around AD 43, and died circa AD 45.
- His short work remained in use nearly to the year 1500.
- It occupies less than one hundred pages of ordinary print, and is described by the Encyclopædia Britannica as "dry in style and deficient in method, but of pure Latinity, and occasionally relieved by pleasing word-pictures." Except for the geographical parts of Pliny's Historia naturalis, the De situ orbis is the only formal treatise on the subject in Classical Latin.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pomponius Mela article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.

Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
