Hi All,
I've been working my way through "DE VIRIS ILLUSTRIBUS URBIS ROMAE" by Charles Lhomond, 1779, Paris.
I'm doing ok but I do get stuck once in awhile and would like to have an English or French translation to consult if I need to. I've tried a Google search but can only come up with Latin. Does anyone know where I can dowload a free translation of this work?
Thanks very much.

I looked, too, convector, but couldn't find anything.
Ego quoquè, convector, vidi, sed non inveni.

I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.

I didn't find any downloadable English or French translation neither, though according to the records of BnF, the book was translated early in the 1840's by a certain Charles Fleming into English( Le "De Viris" anglais, or the Illustrious characters of Rome, in a series of portraits, from Romulus down to Augustus...) Paris, 1840 and by Firmin Vervorst into French( ″De Viris″ français, ou Vie des hommes illustres de la ville de Rome... ) Paris, 1844.
But you can downloaded this one (among others) with notes and vocabulary from Google Books:

Or you can buy a new edition with French translation:
http://www.amazon.fr/viris-illustribus- ... 912&sr=1-1

This Easy Sight Reader by D'Ooge includes 4 selections with detailed notes (including synonyms) from the 'Viri Romae' which you may find useful.

Though be warned, the way Regulus meets his end is gruesome.
