Author: Steadman, Geoffrey

Condition: New

This book is a graded reader for intermediate level Latin students who have completed their initial study of grammar but desire additional practice before reading authentic Latin authors. The first half of the volume includes heavily adapted passages from Livy's Ab Urbe Condita Books I, II, and V, while the second half contains short biographies of major Roman figures including Caesar and Cicero adapted from Lhomond's Urbis Viri Illustres. Below every 10 lines of Latin prose is a single page of all corresponding vocabulary and grammatical commentary. Once readers have memorized the core vocabulary list, they will be able to read the Latin text and consult all relevant vocabulary and notes without turning a page.
