Ran in 2 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course is designed to follow LAT 201 and to expand students' experience of reading and translating Latin texts. Students will engage with longer passages of adapted and unadapted texts, thereby consolidating their theoretical and practical understanding of grammar and internalize conventional translation techniques. Students also will strengthen their ability to master linguistic problems systematically. Typically, one text is drawn from prose authors such as Caesar or Nepos, and one from a poet such as Ovid.

  • To be successful, must put a lot of effort into the course. But really helpful to prepare for upper year courses.

  • The difficulty was about the same as LAT 201. The main difference was that there's a lot more vocabulary to learn.
