Book Description
Revised. For intermediate Latin courses, this very successful text draws on eyewitness accounts to provide students with a compelling narrative outlining the history of Rome during the late Republic, while carefully reinforcing and introducing advanced grammer and syntax. Excellent transitional text using actual documents and readings, with commentary on history and grammar. Exercises are gathered into an ancillary text. Students are provided ample structured skills. Appropriate for third or fourth semester Latin and Latin Grammar review. Notes keyed to Allen and Greenough.

Horrible October 20, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Horrible book with dozens of grammatical errors and is pretty much exclusively Caesar's Civil War Commentary and Cicero's letters about the Civil War. It's dull, repetitive (Caesar speaks of his two stolen legions every chapter), poorly illustrated, the given vocabulary usually aren't the words/idioms one would need to know, and it has no correlation to Wheelock's Latin, which is what most people use in Latin 101. You'd be better off with a fan Latin translation of The Legends of Zelda!
