Latin Symposium - Res Gestae Divi Augusti

[Chris Weimer]

I’ve decided to do a reading of the entire Res Gestae in Latin at the forum. If you’re interested, sign up here!

Title: Res Gestae Divi Augusti

Scope: A reading and full translation of Res Gestae with a study of the historical events behind it.

Prerequisites: At least some advanced Latin knowledge.

The symposium will be reading Res Gestae Divi Augusti. Every week, we will be working through the selected passages commenting on both the Latin text and any historical information behind it. Everyone who knows Latin or would like to learn about the history behind the first emporer is welcome to join. The first meeting will commence on Monday and will last through the whole week.

Adeste Latini Romanique!

And just to clarify - you don't need to be advanced in Latin in order to discuss the text. However, a bulk of the conversation will be focused on the actual Latin, so if you don't know any Latin, but still would like to hear, then come on anyway!
