LAT

10 courses with the subject LAT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

LAT 1001Latin 14

Latin was the language of commerce, government, and the arts in much of Europe and the Mediterranean from antiquity until the early modern period. One year of Latin instruction will allow students to read the speeches, documents, and histories of the ancient Romans, from the grand oratory of the late Republic to the martyr accounts of early Christians. This course, combined with 1002, will introduce grammar, vocabulary, and word forms, and lead students through readings of increasing difficulty until they are prepared for authentic Latin texts. Through the textbook and the ancient authors, students will be introduced to the peoples and places of the Roman world.
