This edition of Book III of Eutropius's "Breviarium ab urbe
condita" is designed to be a student's first encounter with
authentic, unabridged Latin prose. Written in a simple and direct

students find the most interesting--the Second Punic War fought
against Carthage--and the original Latin text is supplemented with
considerable learning support. Full annotations on every page,
detailed commentary on grammar and syntax, and a glossary designed
specifically for the text allow students to build both their
confidence and their reading skills. The commentary in the back of
the book is cross-referenced to the following commonly used
textbooks: "Wheelock's Latin," 6th Edition"Latin: An Intensive
Course" by Moreland and Fleischer"Ecce Romani II, " 3rd
Edition"Latin for Americans," Level 2"Jenney's Second Year
Latin""Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar" Macrons have been
added to the entire text in accordance with the vowel quantities
used in the Oxford Latin Dictionary. Additional resources include
an unannotated version of the text for classroom use, supplementary
passages in English from other ancient authors, and appendixes with
a timeline of events and maps and battle plans. The text may be
used in secondary schools and colleges as early as the first year
of study. The copious translation help, notes, and cross-references
also make it ideal for independent learners.
