About This Book

A compact pedagogical collection presents two short Latin plays for secondary students: one staging a Roman school scene and the other a Roman wedding. An introductory essay outlines the educational purpose of dramatization for language teaching and cites school performances that inspired the material. Each play includes dramatis personae, stage directions, costume and music suggestions, and practical notes for rehearsal and classroom presentation, aiming to engage pupils, reinforce Latin skills through performance, and bring aspects of Roman daily life to vivid, teachable form.
