A vivid description of the city''s monuments precedes a prose retelling of the first four books of Virgil’s Aeneid, with many of the most famous passages in their original verse form. The selection from Virgil is followed by Book One of Livy''s engaging mythical history of Rome''s foundation. The prose selections are judiciously chosen and, in the first few chapters, gently adapted to provide students with a text that is authentically Latin and yet not difficult. The unadapted selections, which make up the majority of the text, are taken from Aulus Gellius, Ovid, Nepos, Sallust, and Horace. These annotated selections make \u003ci\u003eRoma Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e useful both as the next step after \u003ci\u003eFamilia Romana\u003c\/i\u003e and as a survey of Latin literature in its own right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoma Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates the following features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Latin immersion with vowel lengths marked \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Approximately 3,000 vocabulary words \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Short discussions of grammar and exercises for each chapter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Selected readings that cover the material in a Roman history course \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Index of Roman rulers and of historical events arranged chronologically \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Now with full-color illustrations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e* \u003c\/b\u003eThe main books in the \u003ci\u003eLingua Latin per se Illustrata\u003c\/i\u003e series, \u003ci\u003eFamilia Romana\u003c\/i\u003e (Pars I) and \u003ci\u003eRoma Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e (Pars II) are entirely in Latin.
