News of Learning Latin

I have the following passage from Livy to memorize and read in front of my class. Though not strictly required, I am naturally translating it for my own benefit (hard to memorize something if you don't know what it means!). The passage is given below. I've also provided a note of context related to the source so that the Latin will make more sense.

Livy, Ab Urbe Conditā XXII.39.11

The historian records a speech ...

Is my answer to the following question of lesson 42 of Roma Aeterna book correct?
I just need to know if my answer is grammaticaly right?

pensum16.
11. Qui tunc usus fuit scutorum?
Scuto nepos latus fuit.

qui ita dictitat, eis esse metuendum, qui quod ipsis solis satis esset surripuissent; se tantum eripuisse, ut id multis satis esse possit; nihil esse tam sanctum quod non violari, nihil tam munitum quod non expugnari pecunia possit.

Why the imperfect and pluperfect subjunctives after dictitat in the qui subordinate clause? Isn't it primary sequence, or does the frequentative function as both a historic and primary verb of introduction?

Thanks for the help ...

What do you guys think are the best free podcasts in latin, for someone who wants to complement his read/written study with an audio immersion? Preferably I need something that, although graded, is not tied to a specific course - since I'm already following one on paper and don't want to create confusion.

PS. I already know, from the searches I've done up to now, that the LATINUM podcast is universally acclaimed as the best ...

Here's a sentence in LLPSI Cap XXXIX Exercitium 2.8

Paridis iudicii memor Iuno Troianos persequebatur.

Now I understand it means something like Iuno pursued the Trojans on account of the judgement of Paris BUT...how do both 'Memor' and 'Iuno' get to in the nominative case......

Hi.

oriundi ex Etrusci
I want to see an explanation in grammar about this form of gerundive -undus (not -endus).
I searched in Gildersleeve but couldn't find it.
Is it an older form, like servos for servus ?
So, please point me such a place in Gildersleeve or Allen&Greenough.

I've first started with Wheelock, which I found pretty neat and clear in its exposition, although I didn't like how the information was fragmented between the chapters (a bit of verbs, then a couple of declension, then some other verbs... my mind can't stand the stress of not knowing when I'm going to complete one subject).

Then I read an article about how to teach yourself latin, which suggested the combined study of Adler's "A ...

Hi fellow Latin enthusiasts,

I've a short grammar question. As Qua is in the name of and Securitas, Securitatis is security, I'm a bit confused how to join those two words. My intended phrase is "in the name of security", I was thinking along the lines of Qua Securitatem. Can you please help me out with grammar clarification on the matter ?

Thank you in advance

Does anybody use or is anybody familiar with Dirk Panhuis' Latin Grammar. I myself have been a devoted fan of Allen & Greenough since my undergraduate days, but, after a quick look through, I think that Panhuis has something special going for it.

The focus seems to be on linguistics and Panhuis pays particular attention to "The Sentence and Its Parts" and word order/Textlinguistics (as it's called in the book). Word order, I think, is ...

Salvete omnes,

I'm struggling to find a difference (if any) between the two constructions I mention in the Subject of this post, namely the use of cum + the pluperfect subjunctive and ablative absolute.

I am just starting my first foray into Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition (cross your digitos for me) and I'm concerned about some of my translations.

Are the following two Latin sentences equal to each other? Are there any shades of ...
