Latin: Students are introduced to the Latin language, as well as the culture, literature, and history of the Roman civilisation – aspects from which our legal system, governance, the Christian religion, Western literature, art and architecture, and much more eventually evolved. Students can expect to read the texts of Classical Roman authors, ranging from Caesar to Tacitus, and Vergil to Ovid; and even that of Medieval authors, such as St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.
