{"product_id":"9781585108633","title":"Roma Aeterna","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoma Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e (the main book of Pars II of the \u003ci\u003eLingua Latina per se illustrata\u003c\/i\u003e series) introduces some of the most celebrated authors of Roman antiquity through the lens of Roman literature and mythology. A vivid description of the city's monuments precedes a prose retelling of the first four books of Virgil’s Aeneid, with many of the most famous passages in their original verse form. The selection from Virgil is followed by Book One of Livy's engaging mythical history of Rome's foundation. The prose selections are judiciously chosen and, in the first few chapters, gently adapted to provide students with a text that is authentically Latin and yet not difficult. The unadapted selections, which make up the majority of the text, are taken from Aulus Gellius, Ovid, Nepos, Sallust, and Horace. These annotated selections make \u003ci\u003eRoma Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e useful both as the next step after \u003ci\u003eFamilia Romana\u003c\/i\u003e and as a survey of Latin literature in its own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoma Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates the following features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatin immersion with vowel lengths marked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 3,000 vocabulary words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort discussions of grammar and exercises for each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected readings that cover the material in a Roman history course\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex of Roman rulers and of historical events arranged chronologically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow with full-color illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hackett Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48022988914928,"sku":"9781585108633","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781585108633_p0.jpg?v=1763783112","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781585108633","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
