The members of this group have been reviving their interest in Latin for some years now, sociably translating passages of the language and discussing its history and culture.

We have been using Book 5 of the 'Cambridge Latin Course' and the 'Oxford Latin Course' Book 3. The course will now be based on 'Latin Beyond GCSE' by John Taylor and the Cambridge Latin Anthology. Wherever appropriate, we look at current English usage in the media, where the Latin grammatical influence is present – or absent!

On occasions we have short presentations on Roman history and culture.

Please contact the Leader if you require further information about this Group.
