Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category City Nicknames) for Tuesday, April 15, 2025 (Season 41, Game 157):
The poet Albius Tibullus called a city this in the late 1st century B.C., some 700 years after its traditional founding
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Thomas Wilson, a teacher from Taylors, South Carolina
Dondi DeMarco, an operations executive from New York, New York
Andrew Hayes, a law student originally from Tupelo, Mississippi (4-day total: $98,603)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today, Andrew Hayes looks to become the 284th player in the post-1984 era of Jeopardy! to win at least five games. He’s also $6,397 away from passing Joey Beachum as the winningest player to represent Mississippi on the program at this point; however, it’s only a matter of time, as if you take into account that Andrew will win at least $2,000 in consolation prizing and is extremely likely get at least another $5,000 in either Champions Wildcard or the Tournament of Champions, Beachum’s mark will get surpassed eventually regardless. However, South Carolina’s Thomas Wilson and New York’s Dondi DeMarco are looking to prevent Andrew from taking that fifth victory.

Correct response: What is The Eternal City?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Romulus aeternae nondum formaverat urbis moenia, consorti non habitanda Remo. With those words from Elegies, Albius Tibullus first used the term known in English as “the Eternal City” to refer to Rome.
Being very familiar with the nickname, it was an easy jump for me once I figured out that the clue was referring to Rome.
