Latin Too!—Fun and Adventures With Caesar and Hannibal (In-person)

Fall (14 hours or more) | Registration opens 7/29/2025 12:00 AM EDT

You’ve done Latin I sometime—maybe here at Osher. We will begin with a quick reading review using an adventure story, Daimon, which is easy and fun, and moving on to Caesar’s expedition to Britain (he didn’t know about tidal amplitude) and then Hannibal and his elephants crossing the Alps. All the texts will be provided. You’ll want your own small dictionary. If we finish early, we’ll move on to some Medieval Latin adventures.

This course will consist of discussions of Latin translations.

 

  • Optional Book:
