Ecce Romani 1.  It includes variant forms as well.)

Link to other Ecce Romani exercises and notes
(Many of these also directly linked on my Ecce Romani pages.)



LATIN TWO (back to top)

Link to my Ecce Romani 2 practices
(There are likewise more exercises for the textbook here than at any other location in cyberspace.  NOTE: keyed to the American edition.)

Link to other Ecce Romani exercises and notes


GRAMMAR ON MY SITE (back to top)

VIATORES (WAYFARERS), TAKE NOTE:
I have organized these grammar pages in a way I have found useful in working with my own students and in having studied and taught Latin over the years.  For example, pages may use the circumflex symbol ^ over a vowel to indicate a macron (long mark).  Your teacher may wish you to categorize or learn the material differently.

Check all noun endings on my Noun Declension Page.

Plus auxiliî dê nôminibus: my Irregular Noun Page

Ovid page at Erlangen


AP VERGIL'S AENEID (back to top)




ET CETERA (back to top)

There are so many great sites with links and resources out there (many of which appear here) that I feel no need to reinvent the classics internet.  For various reasons these links have proven useful and reliable.  Enjoy.

Tough Vocabulary Glossary (especially for upper levels)

Great basic Latin vocabulary list!  (1400 Key Words)
You may need the Acrobat Reader to open this file.

Quid novi?  Get the Latin News weekly.

You may need to download the free Real Player. 

Check out Ephemeris, the online Latin newspaper from Poland.  One potential caveat (depends on who you are): For headings under "Religio," scilicet "Ecclesiae Catholicae."

Get the Latin Weather.

Get the news in Ancient Greek, frequently updated.

Convert dates and years into the Roman calendar, thanks to Michael Kennedy: Roman Calendar Converter (now in  working order)

Einhard's Charlemagne biography: Vita Caroli Magni

The Latin Library (Watch out for the "wavering" use of u/v, sometimes even in the same text, e.g. Aeneid, which freaks out my students.  Otherwise, there's no more complete resource on the net.)

A must-see German link: Mark Aurel

VRoma, the online community for learning and teaching.  You can visit as a guest, become a VRoman, or just use the resources (the scroll on the right), of which the
images collection is invaluable.

Well-organized, useful links at Forum Romanum

Useful site from Britain, but I would prefer if it were called "Some of the" rather than "The" Classics Pages (the site owner has translated Harry Potter into Ancient Greek).

Diotima, "Materials for the Study of Women and Gender in the Ancient World."  Exhaustive collection of links and onsite research, but last updated Nov. 25, 2005.

E. L. Easton Latin page, where you will find online audio Latin, Latin in movies, textbook resources, online courses, promotional materials, and more.  Easton also has great links for other languages at the same site. 

Ontario Classics Organization list of metasites and others
targeted for use by secondary schools

List of metasites assembled by Dr. Melissa Schons Bishop of the Boston Latin School.

Classical texts, many unavailable elsewhere, with great internal and external links at LacusCurtius (texts page)

Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, a real godsend on the web with the kind of information that only the nineteenth-century classicists can pull off (Trust me, your teacher has or wants a book like this one), again at
LacusCurtius (homepage)

Recognized by the Discovery Channel for excellence, "Jay's Roman History, Technology and Coins Site," a.k.a.
Romeweb, now available in archive only, is worth a look.

Materials collected by the Dalton School
See especially the Maps Page.

Livius, self-described as "Articles on Ancient History," and deserving of the appellation: from Romans in Holland to the cursus honorum to Messianic figures in turn-of-the era Judaism, it's there.

Rome at BBC, including materials to accompany the
Pompeii: The Last Day  docudrama, also women's roles, slavery, famous individuals, gladiators, and an ancient murder mystery.

Pompeii at the Discovery Channel, including a video diary of Pliny the Younger!  Cave advertisements!

Maps Page at the Dalton School (same link as above)

Maps of Rome and the Seven Hills

Bill Thayer's Gazetteer of the Roman World, again at LacusCurtius.

Tour the Roman Forum here (a gift from a Danish traveler who has made the results available in English).

Take another tour of the Roman Forum here (courtesy of a project of the students and teachers at the Lyceum De Grundel--Goeden dag en hartelijk dank, guys!  I've been to and through Hengelo and Enschede on the way to Apeldoorn and think I can even pronounce them approximately correctly.)

Myths and Legends (students, beware "neo-pagan" sites)

Check out the Encyclopedia Mythica at pantheon.org.

Bulfinch's Mythology (The Patti Smith album comes to mind: Gone Again!  Someone figure out how to help this guy keep a site up.)  When available, Bulfinch provides first-rate information.

Check out the reliable links in Ancient Greek Myth, constantly vetted by the Berkeley Department of Classics.

Find detailed, if hard to follow, family trees, standard epithets, as well as much more at the Theoi Project (Don't look for Roman information here.)

Great materials for Morford's and Lenardon's Classical Mythology: instructor resources with free PowerPoint downloads  and student resources, including chapter summaries and practice tests, an archive of modern literary uses of myth, and maps (Many materials are not textbook specific, but appropriate for any myth course.)

Online Images and Texts for Olympians at the University of Victoria.  Also check out the Iconography page.

Nice, short versions of gods and heroes at Mythweb

Small, but cool site on Greco-Roman Origin Myths at the National Gallery of Art (clickable images with art history lessons, worksheets, etc.  You can check out this and other packets--slides included--for an entire school year.)

Small, but nicely arranged Greek, Roman, and Celtic myth at Mythography.  Try the neat online quiz.

Complete list of the Roman Consuls


Read accounts of the Roman People and Heroes at KET, which also maintains excellent materials for Ecce Romani.

Legends of Roman Heroes (but with Italian name forms)

Practice the National Latin Exam online.
More practice courtesy of  KET

Great information on Roman games:
Ball Games, Board Games (some rules reconstructed)

Need help with Latin or Greek grammar?  Teachers, check out the free downloads at Textkit, including Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar.  Students, here's some understandable assistance with Latin perfect tense and Greek verbal aspect.

Great online scholarship from Classics Ireland (links for the 2000 edition currently dead)

Need images for, from, of the classical world?
1.  VRoma Image Collection (a fully searchable collection, amazing in its breadth!  Further details at VRoma above. Di tibi plurimas gratias agant, Barbara McManus!)
2.  All Classics Pictures (no one can quite figure out if this collection of jpeg's is legal, but they're extensive, so I'm afraid I must leave it to your own discretion.)
3.  World Art Kiosk at SJSU (50, 000 images, classics and more, easily searchable.  Thank you, Dr. Kathleen Cohen!)
4.  Classroom Clipart (I've linked to the  Ancient Rome collection, but there are numerous other areas available for free classroom and web use with proper attribution)
5.  Maecenas: Images of Ancient Greece and Rome (free for any noncommercial purposes)
Need general images for vocabulary building?
1.  UVic's Language Teaching Clipart Library (1, 500 "basic vocabulary images" in both transparent and white backgrounds available in this easily searchable collection of daily life gif images.  Web-based use requires two simple acknowlegments/links.  From the makers of Hot Potatoes shareware.)
2.  UPenn's Pictures from the Language Resource and Learning Center (a sort of awkwardly arranged clearinghouse for language teaching images, including clipart and resources for storytelling extending from the start page.  Note: the third link is no longer accurate, but find it at)
3.  Virtual Picture Album in the Less Commonly Taught Languages Center at UMinn's CARLA (acknowledgment for use of these resources is "appreciated" but elsewhere expected for these photographic jpegs from around the world; scenes of daily life in many cultures.)
4.  Picture Database at the Language Resource and Learning Center (some 500 photographic jpegs of Africa, China, Mexico and vegetables.  Another great source to "multiculturalize" your lessons.)
5. Clipart Collection for Second/Foreign Language Instruction (royalty free with acknowledgment.  If you didn't find your daily life clipart at UVic, you'll find it here in these deliberately simple gif images with a Japanese flavor.  Also housed at UPenn.)

Images of the Trojan War
1.  Temple University resources
2.  "Trojan War Art Museum" online at Beloit

(Need to convince someone of the value of classical studies in general, and Latin in particular?  I particularly value this page of quotes from Drew University.)

Materials from the Committee for the Promotion of Latin (from CAMWS, thanks to Ginny Lindzey, you'll find great posters and brochures for the classroom and the enrollment fair, with Greek also represented.)

All you need to do well on the research papers.
