The aims of this module, like LT1004, are to enhance understanding of Latin grammar and syntax, to increase vocabulary, to give a basic understanding of style, and to develop skills in translating and interpreting literary texts. A selection of classical Latin texts are studied, and students are encouraged and assisted to practise reading independently and in extenso. There will be tutorials to support this work and to help with the translation and appreciation of these and other Latin prose and verse authors.
