Students
in this course will learn the basics of the language essential to
all studies in the liberal arts, Latin, in the context of Roman
cultural history. From the age of Julius Caesar until the early
20th century Latin language and literature were routinely required
of all western students, and Latin continues to represent the foundation
of learning and erudition. The object of the course is for the student
to learn the fundamentals of Latin, its grammar and syntax, in order
to read Latin poetry and prose, some of the most eloquent expressions
of the human condition. At the same time, students will study various
aspects of Roman culture and learn to read texts within the context
of their cultural settings.
