Description
This comprehensive guide to Roman history is designed to accompany the OCR A-Level specification in Latin. It features practice unseen passages from key writers, including Livy, as well as additional texts to support students preparing for Paper 2.
The book takes a chronological approach, exploring key events through original texts and providing a sense of narrative progression. Each passage is accompanied by an introduction, a 'lead-in' sentence, and discussion questions on comprehension, translation, and grammar.
Additional features include a word list to help build students' knowledge of Latin prose, as well as grammatical reminders and discussions of Roman history during the periods covered in the passages. A comprehensive introduction also includes portraits of the authors featured in the book.
