About Continuing classical Latin

This intermediate course builds on your knowledge of Latin vocabulary and grammar, teaching you the skills required for reading and appreciating original texts on your own - from the works of Catullus and Ovid to Virgils account of the fall of Troy in Aeneid II . Besides working on translation skills, you will also engage in cultural and literary study of the texts, viewing them as both great pieces of literature and rich insights into Roman culture. A natural follow on from Reading classical Latin (A297), the course also suits students with a good basic grounding in Latin.
