The Cambridge Latin Anthology presents a wide range of poetry and prose from the Roman world for those students
who are keen to develop their understanding of the authors in the original. The eight thematic sections of poetry
include works by Catullus, Horace, Lucretius, martial, Ovid, Petronius, Seneca and Virgil. The eight sections of
adapted prose include sections from Apuleius, Caesar, Cicero, Pliny, Sallust, Tacitus, and the Acts of the Apostles
in the Vulgate.
Glosses and other explanations are provided opposite each of the texts, and the writing is illustrated throughout
by paintings and photographs of artifacts and places in the Roman world. for the student, there is a complete vocabulary
at the end of the book, and, for the teacher, there is an accompanying handbook giving additional information and
suggestions for discussion and work in the classroom.
