In this course the first two years of Latin are reviewed with the addition of the finer points of grammar. Excerpts from the works of such authors as Cicero, Pliny, Ovid, and Seneca are read and translated with emphasis on precise meanings. Some techniques in reading Latin poetry are introduced. The Latin/English relationship is studied in greater depth with consideration of Greek influences. Students become aware of Roman life across the centuries and their contribution to western civilization.
