A consolidation of linguistic skills in Latin and a study of selected Latin prose texts from the Classical period.

The paper is a continuation of LATN 112 and includes the introduction of longer passages of unadapted texts from ancient authors. The emphasis is not only on continuing to master the features of Latin grammar and vocabulary, but also on developing skills in translating from Latin to English.
