Alterum librum serie 'Vive Latine' Concordans cum fastigio intermedio in studio linguae Neo-Latinae

Until now, all Latin textbooks focus on the classical language, on learning how to read and translate classical literary texts. Based on the methodology of modern languages, this manual seeks to teach Medieval and modern Latin, allowing an active mastery of the language through the acquisition of a wide spectrum of vocabulary and searching for scientific and literary texts after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Follow the future emperor Theodosius in his military and political career and learn Latin! A handbook 100% written in Latin, with Grammar explanations and activities, vocabulary and culture annotations. Follow the traditional teaching method, the method of Latin as a living language or a mixture of both!

As a Latin lexicon, this volume pursues two main objectives: to create a broad corpus of Latin terms related to textiles, accessories and personal care and to collect all data in a comprehensible and practical format. Texts and visual sources were consulted, dating from the 3rd century BC up to the 4th AD, describing materials and trends from all regions within the Roman Empire and beyond. The lexicon is arranged in alphabetical order and each offers the etymology and Greek translation of the word, some quotations extracted from primary sources and more bibliography, to allow a deeper study. At the end, all terms are classified in different topics and two glossaries try to ease the search of a specific term either from English or Ancient Greek. This research broadens our understanding of daily life in antiquity through the study of textile manufacture and use during the Roman period.
