A Latin reading follows, with new vocabulary highlighted in the margins and follow-up exercises that focus on reading comprehension and grammatical analysis. A background essay in English concludes each chapter. Covering a variety of topics—from history to food, from slavery to travel, these engaging essays present a well-rounded picture of Augustan Rome.
