Latin III
Course Units: 1.0
The “Roman character” is the focus of study in Latin III. The typical Roman of the Republican Era, as met in stories by Livy, is contrasted with the first century A.D. character of Trimalchio in the Millionaire’s Dinner Party. Second semester is devoted to the personalities of Catiline and Cicero, who are met in selections from Sallust’s Bellum Catilinae and Cicero’s In Catilinam I, and of the poet Catullus. Roman Republican history and political institutions are studied through readings in English and slides. Students study the Roman Forum and make models of a Roman Forum building, as well as undertake an intensive grammar review for the SAT II.
