Featured Podcast

This week features two podcasts by X. Subashi who reads Cicero's Pro Caelio

There are two versions, a natural version

capturing the sound, rhythm, and pace of natural speech and performance

The other is a study version

read at a slow pace, with articulation, word groups, and clauses emphasized. 

These should help to get a genuine idea of what the latin should sound like as well as help to study the texts.

History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Volume 1) by Edward Gibbon is a great book for anyone who is interested in the Roman Empire.
