ECCE ROMANI - a Latin reading course - was first published in 1971. Its aims are to bring pupils quickly to the point where they can read Latin with confidence, and also to give them some insight into life in the early Roman Empire. The reading passages are written in a lively style and grammatical information is dealt with efficiently and sensibly. This second edition is the result of a complete revision and now provides better preparation for examinations at 16+. It consists of five course books (each with an accompanying book of teacher's notes), two companion reference books and a Roman Studies Handbook containing bibliographical references.

This text is intended to help those students who have progressed beyond introductory course books to translate from Latin into English. There are explanations of each Latin construction, graded exercises, plus notes and exercises on Latin words and usages which cut across several constructions.

This anthology is designed to meet the needs of Latin students today, acknowledging present constraints on their study-time. It adopts the authors' approach of their "Ecce Romani" series. To enable students to read Latin reasonably quickly, generous assistance is given with vocabulary and explanatory notes placed next to the Latin text. The meaning of difficult sentences and phrases is usually explained by literal translation rather than complex grammatical explanation, though reference is frequently made to the authors' modern grammar book "The Latin Language." An 'overview' technique helps students unravel complex sentences. Extracts are drawn from Cicero's speeches, letters and philosophical writings, thus illustrating his mastery of styles. They are also chosen to provide an interesting contemporary view of a highly significant phase of Roman history, and linked by simple historical background notes. 'Points for Discussion' highlight stylistic features, showing how Cicero's thinking on moral and social issues remains relevant to modern times.
