| Course Description |
This course continues the study of Latin grammar through readings from the Latin prose authors Cicero and Sallust. A series of adapted readings from Cicero's speeches against Verres, the corrupt governor of Sicily, and from Sallust's account of Catiline's unsuccessful conspiracy to overthrow the state, introduces students to the history of the late Roman Republic and a number of its interesting personalities. As students work through the readings they are introduced to the more advanced grammatical principles that underpin complex Latin sentences and they expand their working vocabulary. |
