Overview
Latin, which in the time of the Roman Empire came to be spoken over almost the whole of Western Europe, remained for many centuries thereafter the language of law and administration, of scholarship and literature, and of the Christian Church in the West. This course will give students a grounding in basic grammar, syntax and vocabulary, and will introduce them from the outset to the legends of early Rome through reading simple but continuous Latin text.
