Synopsis
'This new anthology is designed as a prescribed text for GCSE Examinations and for general reading in the first year of an advanced level course. It consists of sixteen sections, each of about 90 lines of text, eight prose sections and eight verse. The prose is adapted Latin. The format is similar to that of the Cambridge Latin Texts series, i.e. text on the left-hand pages and glosses and other assistance on the right. The book is amply illustrated with photographs of the artefacts and sites of the ancient world, and a complete vocabulary is also provided. A full Teacher\'s Handbook is available separately.'
