North American Cambridge Latin Course

Since its first publication in 1970, the Cambridge Latin Course has sold more than four million copies worldwide. Developed by the University of Cambridge School Classics Project, this bestselling Latin program provides an enjoyable and carefully paced introduction to the Latin language, complemented by background information on Roman culture and civilization. The four Units progress from simple stories written specially for the Course to adaptations of Roman authors and original literature. The texts are accompanied by explanations of key language points and supported by grammar practice exercises. The story begins in the town of Pompeii shortly before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 and follows the fortunes of the household of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus. Further titles in the Course take the reader to the Roman provinces of Britain and Egypt, and to imperial Rome itself.
