The course is aimed at those who reached O Level standard and would like to progress to longer extracts of prose and poetry from Roman authors. We will start with a further selection of Pliny's Letters and parts of Virgil's Aeneid Book VI, the story of Aeneas' visit to the Underworld. We will also read passages from other authors in the Cambridge Anthology, Tacitus, Cicero, Ovid, Horace, and Catullus. We will continue to study the use of grammatical constructions, variations of vocabulary and style as they arise in our reading. In a friendly, lively atmosphere, our knowledge and understanding of Roman life and attitudes will be explored in discussion of topics we meet in our translations. Newcomers wishing to refresh their knowledge of Latin and the Roman world, would be welcome.
