A companion to Bloomsbury's popular two-volume Greek to GCSE, this is the first course for Latin students that directly reflects the curriculum in a clear, concise and accessible way. Enhanced by colour artwork and text features, the books support the new OCR specification for Latin (first teaching 2016) as well as meeting the needs of later students, both at university and beyond. The second text is much shorter and consists of a short anecdote about an unscrupulous character, from the pen of the orator and politician, Cicero. For the language component of the course, you will study texts and stories in Latin to build knowledge and understanding of Latin vocabulary and grammar. This constitutes 50% of the course and provides a solid grounding for study of classical Latin at advanced level. The first text is from the historian Tacitus, writing about the scandals, crimes and eventual downfall of the Emperor Claudius’ third wife, Messalina.
