How many times have you heard the story of the Foundation of Rome by Romulus and Remus? Early in Latin, students are taught that the city of Rome was founded by men for men. In one aspect this is true. However, behind every strong man is a strong woman. Founding A Latin Reader tells the stories of six women or groups of women who assisted in establishing the city of Rome from the Monarchy to the Republican Era. These stories have been compiled from Livy's Ab Urbe Condita and rewritten for the modern Latin reader. This book has been written with the upper intermediate level Latin student in mind. Notes and Glossary are included.
