Description

This unit builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in LATN1600 and introduces further accidence along with most subordinate clause types and common constructions. Grammatical knowledge is reinforced by translation from and into Latin, while reading skills are further consolidated through the reading of prose and verse texts. The unit provides both a basis for further Latin study and essential background for students specialising in subjects such as Ancient History, Archaeology, Medieval Studies and Philosophy.
