Morituri te salutamus.

A retiarius stabs at a secutor with his trident.
Mosaic. Nennig, Germany. 2nd–3rd century CE.
"We who are about to die greet you." Last week we began following the journey of "Verus," the gladiator. Here we see not merely an imaginative account of two gladiators but a very accurate depiction of two types of gladiators: a retiarius and a secutor. They represent two schools of gladiatorial combat.

In addition, we are going to review and learn from our quizzes from last week.

Agenda:
  1. Pater noster
  2. Review the following:
    1. Present Tense Verb System.
    2. 3rd Declension Nouns
    3. 3rd Declension Worksheet
  3. Review HW: 
    1. Study words for Cap VIII
    2. Study Present Tense Verb System
    3. Get your chant on! The Endless Noun Ending Song
    4. Este perfecti!
