| LATIN 1B | FUNDAMENTALS | CLAXTON, C. | This is the second quarter of first-year Latin. We will continue to cover Shelmerdine's Introduction to Latin textbook. Instruction and practice in grammar and vocabulary will alternate with the reading of Latin passages. Daily homework, weekly quiz, midterm exam, and a final examination. Prerequisite: Latin 1A, equivalent, or permission of instructor. This course may be used to satisfy the breadth requirement in language (VI) as well as the School of Humanities foreign language requirement. |
| LATIN 104 | MARTIAL'S EPIGRAMS | ZISSOS, P. | In this course we will read selections from Martial’s Epigrams, paying close attention to grammar, syntax, vocabulary and, more generally, the various peculiarities and difficulties of reading Latin poetry. We will also consider the literary tradition within which Martial was writing, and the crucial evidence his poetry provides for the life, politics and culture of Rome in the early imperial period. (Prerequisite: Latin 100B or equivalent, or consent of the department. This course may be repeated for credit as topics vary.) |
