PREREQ: Latin proficiency - Novice High

Students expand their vocabulary and grammar skills by translating authentic Latin texts. The goal of the class is to develop students’ comfort reading, translating, and interpreting unadapted Roman sources, as well as working with more advanced grammatical structures like the subjunctive mood. Students also study the history of ancient Rome from its founding to the early Empire, with a focus on the late Republic. Students read unadapted, authentic Latin texts from such authors as Augustus, Ovid, Pliny, and Eutropius. In the fourth quarter of the course, they learn how to read and scan Latin poetry.
