LATN 202 - Intermediate Latin II: Roman Prose

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
In 56 BCE, Cicero, the foremost orator of the Roman Republic, was locked in a tense political battle with his rival, Clodius Pulcher. In this course we will read one of Cicero’s funniest and most vicious speeches, the pro Caelio, in which he attacks Clodius’ sister, Clodia Metelli. We will also read several of Cicero’s letters, especially those dealing with the politics of the late Republic. There will be a review of some advanced aspects of Latin grammar.

Prerequisites: LATN 102.
