Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Learn Latin Through Three Roman WorldsThe road widens again. This time it leads from the theatres of Hispania to the battlefields of Dacia.Learn Latin with Gens et Gloria 3: A Zygia ad Apollonium continues the advanced Latin novel series during the reign of Trajan. Three stories unfold side by side: the adventures of a travelling theatrical company, a Roman officer at war, and the quieter life of the family he has left behind.Written for advanced Latin readers, the novel moves between different voices and styles while remaining at approximately the C1 stage within the Latina Laeta progression.From Baetica to the Dacian FrontierIn Baetica, Dracontius and his fellow performers take to the road. Their world is one of theatres, quarrels, jokes, improvisation and unexpected encounters. At its centre is Zygia, a sharp-tongued Greek woman whose place in the company-and in Dracontius's life-is not easily defined.Far to the east, Lucius Vibius Florus has been drawn into Trajan's war against Dacia. From Viminacium and the Danube to mountain roads, military camps and the approaches to Sarmizegetusa, he experiences Roman warfare from within: uncertainty, exhaustion, danger and the responsibility of command.Meanwhile, Cassia and Cornelia remain within the world of family and household. Their chapters offer another perspective on Roman life, shaped by relationships at home and events taking place far away.Comedy, war and domestic life alternate throughout the novel, each with its own pace and voice.Learn to Read Different Kinds of LatinA Zygia ad Apollonium is the third novel in Gens et Gloria, the advanced continuation of the Latina Laeta reading programme.At this stage, the challenge is no longer simply understanding complex grammar. It is learning to move comfortably between different kinds of Latin. Dracontius's chapters are lively, comic and theatrical. Lucius's military narrative is more direct and historical. Cassia's world is quieter and more intimate.An English introduction explains these changes of register and offers practical guidance on adapting the way you read. As throughout the series, the emphasis is on extensive reading: follow the narrative, use context, tolerate what you do not immediately understand, and keep moving.Against the background of Trajan's Dacian Wars, the novel brings together Roman comedy, military life, travel and the everyday concerns of a Roman family.Learn Latin with Gens et Gloria 3 is suitable for advanced Latin students, independent learners, teachers looking for full-length Latin fiction, readers continuing the Latina Laeta and Gens et Gloria series, and experienced Latinists who want a historical novel they can enjoy in Latin.Professor Terence Tunberg, University of Kentucky, writes: Volumen nuperrime editum, quod est A Zygia ad Apollonium inscriptum, amicis nostris mythistorias et fabulas novas Latine scriptas legendi studiosis vehementer commendamus. Lector enim evolvens hoc volumen, quod numeratur tertium in serie librorum, quibus datur titulus Gens et gloria, paulatim et pedetemptim nostri aevi obliviscitur et quasi magica quadam arte devictus ex hac nostra vita ad illa tempora rapitur, quibus florente imperio Romano et Traiano imperitante plurimae gentes, quae antea sui iuris fuerant, in dicionem potestatemque populi Romani redactae sunt. Vagatur lector noster per occursus et recursus atque itinerum ambages; vagatur, inquam, a Baetica usque ad Daciae limites: multa videt, cum multis hominibus Latine (nec ulla alia lingua) colloquitur, rebus novis attonitus plura semper videre vult.Three stories.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Learn Latin on the Open RoadThe wars are over-for the moment. The actors are still travelling.Learn Latin with Gens et Gloria 31/2 Via Laeta is a lighter interlude in the Gens et Gloria series, following the Margaritae Mauretaniae as they make their way along the Roman roads after their adventures in A Zygia ad Apollonium.This is not Book 4. It is Book 31/2: a journey between larger adventures, written for advanced Latin readers who are ready to stop treating every page as a lesson and simply enjoy reading in Latin.Take to the Road with the Margaritae MauretaniaeDracontius and his company have left Massilia behind. Rome lies somewhere ahead.The road, however, has ideas of its own.Travelling with a company of actors is rarely straightforward. There are performances and arguments, taverns and tombs, strangers with stories to tell, unexpected acts of generosity, philosophical disputes, practical disasters-and a goat that continues to behave very much like a goat.Along the way, Dracontius, Aemilia, Caprosa, Cacizus, Philostratus and their companions encounter the comic and serious sides of everyday Roman life. Stories are told, jokes exchanged, beliefs questioned and performances improvised as the company moves from one encounter to the next.Part road novel, part theatrical comedy, Via Laeta is a succession of encounters and stories held together by the simplest of structures: a group of travellers and the road ahead.Latin for the Pleasure of ReadingVia Laeta does not introduce a new level in the Latina Laeta progression. Instead, it gives readers more time with the advanced Latin they have already encountered in Gens et Gloria.The language is conversational, anecdotal and often playful. Dialogue, jokes, songs, arguments and stories within the story provide frequent changes of pace, while the journey gives the novel its natural rhythm.An English introduction explains the purpose of this unusual half-volume and encourages a different kind of reading. There is no need to analyse every construction or understand every word. Follow the travellers, follow the conversation, and let the Latin carry you down the road.Learn Latin with Gens et Gloria 31/2 is suitable for advanced Latin students, independent learners seeking extensive Latin reading, readers continuing the Latina Laeta and Gens et Gloria series, teachers looking for lively Latin fiction, and experienced Latinists with a taste for Roman comedy, travel and storytelling.The road is open. Rome is far away-but not too far.Eamus. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
