A Roman Army Reader

Twenty-One Selections from Literary, Epigraphic, and Other Documents

Dexter Hoyos

xlviii + 214 pp., 7 illustrations and 2 maps (2013) 5” x 7¾” Paperback, ISBN 978-0-86516-715-5


This edition offers a compact portrait, in peace and in war, of the ancient Roman army, one of history’s most famous and successful military organizations. Twelve literary passages combine with nine epigraphic and other documents to show soldiers who don’t merely fight: Between battles, they march, drill, camp, construct public works, eat, drink, and—sometimes illegally—marry and have children. At times, and invariably with bloodstained results, troops also involved themselves in Roman politics. With selections from a variety of sources and a time span ranging from the First Punic War to the reign of M. Aurelius, this compact reader is like no other currently available.

Features: Introduction to the Roman army • 858 lines of unadapted Latin text in 21 selections: 12 from literary works (Cato Origines, Cicero Ad Atticum, Caesar Bellum Civile, Livy Ab Urbe Condita, Juvenal Satires, Tacitus Annals and Histories, Vegetius De Re Militari, Suetonius Gaius and Claudius) and 9 from documentary sources • Notes at the back and complete vocabulary • Suggested reading; appendices of original texts and chronologies • Two maps and seven illustrations

Dexter Hoyos is Honorary Associate Professor and research affiliate at Sydney University, Australia, where he taught from 1972 until 2007. Author of numerous articles on Roman government, diplomacy, warfare, and historiography, and on Latin epigraphy and pedagogy, his books include Hannibal: Rome’s Greatest Enemy (Exeter/Bristol Phoenix 2008); Truceless War: Carthage’s Fight for Survival, 241–237 b.c. (Brill 2007); Livy: Hannibal’s War, Books 21 to 30 (with translator J. C. Yardley, Oxford 2006); Hannibal’s Dynasty: Power and Politics in the Mediterranean World, 247–183 b.c. (Routledge 2003); Unplanned Wars: The Origins of the First and Second Punic Wars (de Gruyter 1998), and Latin: How to Read it Fluently—A Practical Manual (CANE Educational 1997).

Latin for the New Millennium Level 3 has arrived!!!

LNM Level 3 builds on the strong foundation of Levels 1 and 2 and provides students an in-depth experience of Caesar, Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Ovid, and Vergil as well as Erasmus, the “Cicero” of the Renaissance, and other post-antique Latin authors.

Have your students been using a Latin series other than Latin for the New Millennium?

Even if they haven’t used Latin for the New Millennium, Levels 1 and 2, consider having them use Latin for the New Millennium Level 3! The transition will be smooth. Each chapter in level 3 covers a different classical author and starts with readings that are accompanied by transitional aids. All the readings have pre-reading exercises, complete vocabulary, and notes designed for reading comprehension. Language facts based on the readings provide grammar review, which all students need, and third year grammar topics as well.

2010 Terence Award-Winners

I am thrilled to announce the winners of the 2010 Terence Awards (aka Terrys) that honor excellence in Classics student films. Each winning student or group of students will receive a check in the amount of $100.00 along with copies of Terence's Phormio. Thanks to the Excellence Through Classics organization for sponsoring this event, with additional assistance from Andrew Reinhard and Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers. Winners will be contacted directly via email for snailmail addresses to which the prizes can be sent.

Additional prizes were added to include a Best Picture prize for junior high/middle school (and younger) students as well as extra "Best Use of Latin in a Film" prizes.

The judges reserve the right to not award a prize should they feel that no films in a given category merit the award. There were no entries received for the "Best Use of Ancient Greek" prize. The judges decided not to award prizes for "Best Use of Latin in a Film" for the "Senior" (university-level) category of films, or for Best Foreign Film this year.

And the Terrys go to:

JUNIOR (middle school, junior high school, and homeschool students under the age of 14):

Best Use of Latin in a Film: Romulus et Remus, Dutchess Day School, Milbrook, NY, Russell Day (teacher)

Best Picture: Prometheus and Pandora, Artemis Resnick (independent learner)

JUNIOR (high school and homeschool students under age 18):

Best Use of Latin in a Film: Dominus Anulorum, Oakmont Regional High School, Ashburnham, MA, Jocelyn Demuth (teacher)

Best Picture: Caligula's Adventures in Wonderland, Masters Academy, Charlotte, NC, Sherri Madden (teacher)

SENIOR (college and university students):

Best Picture: Panic! The Sicilian Misadventure, Haverford College, Bret Mulligan (teacher)

Thanks to all who submitted films in 2010. The call-for-submissions for the 2011 contest will be posted in September this year, with awards announced at the 2011 American Classical League's Summer Institute in Minneapolis.
