PREREQ: Latin proficiency - Novice Mid 

The course continues the student’s introduction to Latin grammar, focusing on the skill of interpreting and translating increasingly complex Latin sentences and stories. By the end of Novice High Latin, students have worked with most of the major elements of Latin grammar (including participles and all tenses of the indicative mood), the important rules of syntax, and are able to begin reading authentic Latin texts. Throughout the second semester, we read excerpts from ancient Roman authors and modern novellas. Students also study the history of ancient Rome, focusing on the history and culture of the Roman provinces.
