Cambridge Latin course
Book • 1990
The Cambridge Latin Course is the most successful Latin course in the UK, with nearly 4,000,000 copies sold since its original publication in 1970.
The course uses a story-based approach centered on the adventures of a Pompeian family (Caecilius, Metella, Quintus, and Grumio) and other characters across five books, progressing from simple specially-written stories to adaptations of Roman authors and original texts.
Each chapter follows a consistent layout with Latin sentences, long-form texts, grammar explanations, practice exercises, and cultural background information on Roman history, literature, business, and military life.
The latest fifth edition incorporates new scholarship and better represents the diversity of the Roman world, including greater prominence for women, more detailed coverage of enslaved people's lives, and the multicultural reality of Rome's empire.
