Review: Why do you need this - It’s a great companion to Wheelock’s latin. A must, if you are serious about learning lingua latina.
Review: Very Useful Anthology - I thought this was a very helpful and useful book, great for learning on your own, and a fantastic first step in reading Latin in the original. The notes were very helpful, and the presence of a dictionary in the back was also very useful. I thought the selections themselves were excellent, and well-sequenced and well-distributed. We start with a lot of Cicero, which I thought was helpful in grappling with complex grammar and getting a feel for some of the elements of Roman style. Livy offered a nice change of pace, though still had some of the stately qualities of Cicero. Then we get to experience poetry with Ovid, and then take a bit of a break, so to speak, with Pliny’s letters. I love that the book ended with the Vulgate and Medieval Latin, which I never encountered in high school. All in all, I thought it was a great anthology and the perfect first step for reading Latin in the original.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect
*by T***M on February 8, 2013*

I needed this for a Latin 202 class. It arrived in brand new condition, and very quickly as well (I didn't find out I needed it until the first day of class but still didn't miss a single assignment). It has several important Latin texts from Cicero to vulgar, and has helpful definitions on each page and a rather extensive dictionary in the back. If you're a middling Latin learner and wish to do some translating I definitely encourage you to get this book.
