A new edition of the world-renowned Cambridge Latin Course, refreshed for modern learners. Inspired by teacher observations and research, the course provides today's students with a more diverse and detailed picture of Roman cultural heritage and history, while offering clear and comprehensive language support.

The story is set in Pompeii just before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and follows the adventures of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus, his wife Metella, and their household. The book combines grammar, vocabulary, and history with supportive illustrations and a clear layout.

Students can immerse themselves in the Roman world, prepare to engage with authentic texts and a wide range of characters, and start reading Latin from the very first page.
