Features

Updated storylines, created in collaboration with academic specialists, provide historically grounded insight into the Roman world as a context for learning the language
With the reading method at its heart, the series is underpinned by language acquisition research to encourage learners to read Latin from the first page, supporting them as they progress from beginners to proficient readers of Roman authors
New ‘Practising the language’ sections enable learners to check their understanding and think critically about the story and language
Language and culture are integrated from the very outset by using as much authentic Roman subject matter as possible to inspire an interest in and understanding of classical civilization and literature
‘Enquiry questions’ and ‘Thinking points’ make use of best practice in history pedagogy to support learners in developing skills of historical enquiry by encouraging reflection on the cultural content through activities and discussion
In a new feature, characters from the stories reflect on events and issues of the time to encourage learners to make links between Roman history and culture and the lives of different individuals
The ‘Language Information’ section at the end of the book provides an opportunity for learners to check and practise their language skills, with a focus on grammar, word order and vocabulary
