Read Now Download Now
Roma Aeterna is the second volume of the two-volume series, Lingua Latina per se Illustrata. This volume introduces the most celebrated authors of antiquity through the lens of Roman history. A vivid description of the city's monuments precedes a prose retelling of the first four books of Virgil's Aeneid with many of the most famous passages in their original verse form. The selection from Virgil is followed by book on of Livy's engaging mythical history of Rome's foundation. The prose selections are judiciously chosen and, in the first few chapters, gently adapted to provide students with a text that is authentically Latin and yet not difficult. The unadapted selections, which make up the majority of the text, are taken from Aulus Gellius, Ovid, Nepos, Sallust, and Horace. These annotated selections make Roma Aeterna useful both as the next step after Familia Romana and as a survey of Latin literature in its own right.

Features include:
- Latin immersion: Every word, cover to cover, is in Latin with vowel lengths marked.
- Approximately 3,000 new vocabulary words are taught
- Each chapter includes a short discussion of grammar an three exercises
- The original Latin of the most famous lines from the first four books of the Aeneid
- Selections from the most celebrated authors of antiquity
- Helpful margin notes
- The grammar and vocabulary pick up when Familia Romana ends
- Perfect for home-schoolers, as it covers the material of a course in Roman history
- Index of Roman rulers and of hitorical events arranged chronologically

The Indices, available separately, is a supplement which contains lists of the Roman consuls and their triumphs (Fasti consulares and triumphales), as well as name and word indices covering the whole course. A Latin-English Vocabulary II is also available.
