Legends of Early Rome: Authentic Latin Prose for the Beginning

Legends of Early Rome: Authentic Latin Prose for the Beginning Student

In this text for upper-beginner and intermediate students, Brian Beyer collects authentic Latin prose from Book I of Eutropiusâ€™s Breviarium ab urbe condita, which covers Roman history from Romeâ€™s foundation to the sack of Rome by the Gauls. Eutropiusâ€™s easy style and accessible vocabulary make his Breviarium ideal for students transitioning from the simplified Latin of a first-year textbook. Bottom-of-the-page glosses, passages in English from the Roman historian Livy, a running commentary on grammar and syntax, historical notes, and compiled vocabulary allow students insight into the foundational myths of ancient Rome and the historical context of Eutropiusâ€™s narrative.
