  • Description:

    We will be continuing our reading from some of the great texts of classical Roman literature, both verse and prose. Last year we have read from Plautus and Apuleius. Planned future reading includes some of Virgil's Georgics and Pliny's letters, writings by Ovid, Cicero and Julius Caesar, and stories from Livy. We usually take in turns to read and translate, but it is not compulsory - just join in the discussion if you prefer. Texts and translations are provided. You should have Latin to A Level standard or above to get the best from our reading.

  • Format: Course or activity without teaching
