blank 5

We are the Dead Language Latin Club, and our mission is to promote the love and study of the Roman language and culture. Our current projects:

-Translating Philemon

-Reading The Aeneid

-Studying the fall of the Roman republic by reading the lives of the key players in that event (Caesar, Pompey, Crassus, Cato the Younger, Octavian, Cicero, Antony, Marcus Brutus, Sylla)

Not only by such study of the classics do we equip our minds to grapple with the world around us, but we do so in the spirit of friendship and camaraderie. (At our last meeting, the team having accumulated the most points in competition was awarded a donated copy of Corneille's Le Cid in English translation.)
