This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin
AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Annals Book I sections
16-30 and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of Annals Book I
sections 3-7, 11-14 and 46-49, giving full Latin text, commentary
and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the
prescribed text to be read in English for A Level. Annals I starts
with the death of Augustus and the beginning of Tiberius'
principate. Tacitus chronicles the uneasy and unprecedented
transition from one to the other, in the context of a political
elite shaken by years of civil war and unsure as to how best to
protect their own interests and the stability Augustus had brought
to Rome. With damning references to the servile nature of the new
regime, Tacitus vividly paints scenes of confused senatorial
debates, and Tiberius' own uncertainty over his own position and
the best decisions to make. Opportunistic rebellions in the army
are described with dramatic brilliance.

De Imperio Cn. Pompeii (in support of Pompey), or Pro Lege Manilia,
(in favour of the Manilian law) was Cicero's first speech on public
affairs. Delivered in 66 BC when Cicero was praetor, he argued in
support of a proposal from Manilius, the tribune at that time, to
extend Pompey's command in the East and so take over the command in
the war against Mithridates. The speech charts the moment when
Cicero was transformed from lawyer to politician, but also effected
a decision which led to Rome's success in the third Mithridatic War
and her assertion of supremacy in the East. This edition contains
sections 27-45, where Cicero discusses how to choose a general,
passionately advocating for a leader with the skills and expertise
of Pompey. The introductory essay provides an overview of the
historical and political context, and provides detail on the
rhetorical and literary devices employed by Cicero in this speech.
Detailed commentary notes accompanying the Latin text gloss
difficult words and phrases, explain references to Cicero's
contemporary politics, and highlight instances of oratorical usage.

"Key to Advanced Latin" provides answers to the exercises that form
a substantial part of our new Latin language textbook, "Advanced
Latin: Materials for A2 and Pre-U", which is being published
simultaneously (ISBN 9781853997297). These exercises consist of: 24
translation/comprehension exercises, based on passages taken
predominantly from Livy, Caesar and Ovid. These match exactly the
requirements of A2, but the passages work equally well as unseen
for those working towards Pre-U. Six further passages are offered
for unseen translation only, and finally there are 12 passages of
continuous prose for translation into Latin.
"Advanced Latin" offers a range of material to help students build
and develop the knowledge and skills needed for A2 and Pre-U Latin.
There are 24 translation/comprehension exercises, based on passages
taken predominantly from Livy, Caesar and Ovid. These match exactly
the requirements of A2, but the passages work equally well as
unseens for those working towards Pre-U. Six further passages are
offered for unseen translation only, and are designed to stretch
the most able. There are then 12 passages of continuous prose for
translation into Latin, each supported by notes to help the
student; and an appendix that contains a comprehensive
English-Latin vocabulary. To support the study of A2 and Pre-U
literature, there are short commentaries on sample passages from
each of the prescribed authors, demonstrating a variety of
interpretative approaches. In addition, for each author there is an
annotated bibliography, to guide both teacher and student to the
most useful secondary literature available. A separate section
focuses on the Pre-U unseen literary criticism option and offers
six practice passages.
