Primus Pilus Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I was immediately drawn to Augustus" Caesar's Web, but I get the impression that it is introductory in nature and/or related to an upcoming TV production mentioned below.... From Bristol Phoenix Press AUGUSTUS: CAESAR'S WEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Porcius Cato Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 The Natural History of Latin was released in hardcover some time ago. It's an interesting book about Latin, though it's hard for me to imagine the right audience for it. Best I can tell, it's the sort of thing that Latin students might want to read before that first lesson on declining "insula", or possibly it's meant for Latin teachers who want to spice up their courses with more background information on the language. It's definitely not going to teach anyone to read Latin, and I don't think it's meant to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 The second one looks fascinating to this political science/international relations major. The price tag is a bit hefty. I might have to wait until a cheap used one becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divi Filius Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 50,00 bucks. Ahhh... I'm going to have to wait for some used, softcover copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
