About This Book

A practical instructional guide for developing skill in sight-translation of Latin, combining six worked demonstrations of sentence-analysis with a curated set of unseen passages arranged to give a broad outline of Roman republican history. Explanatory notes—largely historical—support harder extracts while the amount of help tapers off through the book, and a group of miscellaneous passages offers stricter practice. Prefatory essays outline the pedagogical aims and methods, and appendices, indices, and textual notes supply reference material and technical guidance for teachers and learners.

This e-text includes characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding. The most common are:

ὠκύπτερος

Greek, usually in references to word derivation
ĀĒĪŌŪ āēīōūȳ

letters with macron or “long” mark
ĂĬŎŬ ăĕĭŏŭ

letters with breve or “short” mark
√ ∴ “root” and “therefore” symbols

If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default font.

Hae tibi’erunt artes; pacisque imponere morem.

Parcere subiectis, et debellare superbos.’

Profuit iniustis te dominante capi.

Dumque offers victis proprii consortia iuris,

Urbem fecisti quod prius orbis erat.’
