Latin

Course summary

Latin is the study of the Ancient Roman world through its language and literature. The course provides a chance for students to extend the skills they developed at GCSE and approach much more challenging texts. Over the two years of the course, students will study a range of Latin prose authors including Pliny, Tacitus, Seneca and Cicero (students will not have to study all of these authors). They will also study a range of Latin verse authors including Ovid, Propertius, Tibullus and Virgil (likewise, students will not have to study all of these authors). In addition to this, they will continue to build up their language skills and vocabulary and along the way they will be able to appreciate how the ancient world influences our own both in terms of culture and language.
