    Weekly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks), Summer (5 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 14
  • Start date: 07 October 2024
  • Description:

    Let us continue to study Latin together, very occasionally looking at one or two Latin 'constructions' which we have not met before, but principally reading, translating and discussing a wide variety of passages (both prose and poetry) from different Roman authors from the 'Golden Age' (such as Sallust, Cicero, Catullus, Lucretius, Livy, Horace, Virgil, Ovid, etc) and from the 'Silver Age' (with authors like Petronius, Tacitus, Suetonius, Juvenal, Statius, etc) and, from time to time, some examples of Mediaeval Latin. No prescribed text. The plan is for the tutor to supply by email suitable passages to study with accompanying vocabulary and notes. It may be helpful to have access to a small Latin dictionary or an on-line dictionary. Although the course is designed with past participants in mind, new members will be most welcome to the group if they have studied Latin to a reasonable level (e.g. GCE O level).
