Assignment for Mon. Nov. 28/Wed. Nov. 30

• Read in Latin Pro Archia 19-24: we’ll concentrate on 19-21 for Monday, the rest on Wednesday.

NB: Your sight translation is due on Tuesday (please email it to me)

AND: Please remember to bring the De Officiis handout: we’ll do that at sight first on Monday.

Papers

Another reminder: a description of your papers is posted here. Still waiting to hear from some of you about a topic....

Ponderanda

• Roman history features rather more prominently in these sections than in other parts of the speech: do a bit more digging than usual to figure out who these folks are and their relevance to the points being made. How, that is, do these references fit in with Cicero’s strategy at this point?

Recitation

As promised, on Monday, Dec. 5 we are going to memorize and perform part of the Pro Archia (the latter part of it). Here are your ‘parts’. You should commit your passage to memory. Oh yes, the best Cicero (determined democratically) gets a special prize....
