An invigorating selection of "everyday" Latin from ancient times to the present day, this guide includes an exploration of poetry, epitaphs, and inscriptions and a look at the origins of Latin names still used in English.

All texts are accompanied by in-depth notes, and there is a grammatical index and English translations.
