8 credits This
course is designed for students with no experience with Latin, to read authors
such as Virgil, Ovid, Cicero, and Augustine in the original language after one
semester's intensive work (the equivalent of two semesters of college Latin).
Daily drills and frequent quizzes will be combined from the beginning with an
emphasis on reading: students will begin reading short selections from
classical authors after only a few weeks and longer passages by midterm. Those
wishing to enroll in this course should consult with Prof. Curtis or Prof. Romm, or attend the informational meeting in early
December. Class size: 18

Despite its slide
into autocracy, the age of Nero (54-68 A.D.) saw a great flowering of Roman
literature, including the comic novel Satyricon by Petronius, and the tragedies and essays of
Seneca, as well as the mysterious historical drama called Octavia. We will read selections from several of these
texts, spanning a wide range of styles in both poetry and prose.
