LAT 2 Latin 2
Continues the study of Latin language and Roman culture begun in Latin 1. The structures of the language are introduced through readings of gradually increasing complexity. The narrative content of the course brings in historical persons and events from the last quarter of the first century A.D, both in the province of Britannia and in the city of Rome. The class will will also spend some time studying real inscriptions, curse tablets, and coins, as well as composing in Latin as a means to increasing reading fluency. This course is primarily designed for students who have taken Latin 1 at Dartmouth, but will also be a good fit for those who have had one or more years of high school Latin and want to reinforce their skills before moving on to reading unadapted Latin in Latin 3.
