Piso Ille Poetulus: A Latin Novella (Latin Edition)

Piso is a Roman boy who wants to be a great poet like Virgil. His family, however, wants him to be a soldier like his father. Can Piso convince his family that poetry is a worthwhile profession? Piso Ille Poetulus contains just 108 unique words (excluding names, different forms of words, and meaning established within the text), and features 22 original lines of dactylic hexameter. Whether used as an introduction to Latin poetry, a survey of ancient Rome's famous buildings, or a glimpse into the day of a Roman boy, Piso Ille Poetulus is a must-have in every Latin classroom. Be sure to check out the audio album of Piso's 22 lines of dactylic hexameter, available for download (on iTunes, Amazon, and https://pisoverse.bandcamp.com/). Each track on the audio album includes... a) Piso singing his line of poetry b) an English translation to [re]establish meaning c) the line of poetry repeated to check comprehension d) a slow version of just the rhythm to become more comfortable singing to a beat e) the normal speed of just the rhythm to practice singing at Piso's speed f) the line of poetry repeated one last time The Pisoverse is written with sheltered (i.e. limited) vocabulary to provide more understandable reading material for the beginning Latin student. The Pisoverse is original historical fiction set in classical antiquity: Rufus lutulentus Rufus et Lucia: liberi lutulenti Piso perturbatus Drusilla in Subura Rufus et arma atra Rufus et gladiatores Drusilla et convivium magarum Agrippina: mater fortis fragmenta Pisonis Piso Ille Poetulus
