At the end of the Roman Empire, as "classical" Latin grew more formal and artificial, "vulgar" Latin-the language of the "common people" and the parent of the Romance languages-emerged as a sophisticated literary instrument.

In this course, students read selections, in the original Latin, from works in theology, history, biography, fiction, and poetry.
