Description

Course description

This course is a first step in reading Latin, which was the language not only of ancient Rome, but also of science, culture, and more in Europe until the early modern era and is still in use today. The course focuses on Classical Latin (as it would have been written, for example, by Julius Caesar), but engages with a variety of texts including inscriptions and graffiti. Ancient texts are supplemented with modern ones to help develop not only fluency in reading continuous narratives but also the cultural knowledge that is necessary to understand Latin literature.
