Summus dies Pompeii.

Vesuvius from Portici. Joseph Wright of Derby. 1776.
What were some of the most important events in the first century of Rome? What was daily Roman life like? At the end of last quarter, we viewed two films that show accurate glimpses of Roman life in that transitional period from B.C. to A.D., particularly events in the first century. We are doing this for two reasons: (1) We wanted to answer the above questions regarding our course objectives to study Rome, and (2) we also wanted to complete our study of the phases of Roman history. This means we are entering into the Patristic period, from the Golden Age of the Empire from 44 B.C. to the Fall of the Roman Empire in the 6th century Anno Domini.
Today we reviewing Latin grammar things: third declension, demonstratives, etc.

  1. Pater noster
  2. Review the 3rd Declension Worksheet
  3. Finish Pensum B of Cap VII
  4. Read Cap VIII together.
  5. Review HW: 
    1. Study words for Cap VIII.
    2. Study Present Tense Verb System
    3. Get your chant on! The Endless Noun Ending Song
