The last true emperor of Rome, told by a soldier who fought with him. For Latin beginners!
Paris, A.D. 360. The emperor orders Julian's victorious legions east - and the army answers with a roar: torches around the palace, a soldier's gold made war certain, the lightning dash down the Danube - and an empire won without a single battle. Told by Ammianus Marcellinus, the soldier-historian who this time is inside his own story: you will stand with him on the walls of Amida as the Persian King of Kings rides out of the dawn, and flee with him through the desert night when the city falls. Retold in graded, crystal-clear Latin you can read on your own.
Following the beloved "natural method" of Ørberg's Lingua Latina, book is a living story in Latin that explains itself as you read:
- Every new word explained in Latin in the margin - nearly 900 glosses, never in English, so you learn to think in Latin instead of decoding it
- IPSA VERBA panels: in every chapter, Ammianus' real, unaltered sentences in elegant purple frames - followed by a friendly Latin walkthrough. You read a genuine Roman historian from your very first week
- Real history, honestly told: the enemy is honored, the numbers are Ammianus' own, and nothing is invented - every quoted passage verified against the critical text
- Complete back matter: portraits of every major figure (in easy Latin!) and a full alphabetical index of all vocabulary
Early chapters use short sentences and constant friendly questions (Quid est tīrō? Tīrō est mīles novus!). Step by step the Latin grows richer, and the excerpts from Ammianus grow longer - until, by the finale, you are reading one of Rome's great prose stylists nearly unassisted.
Who this book is for- Self-learners who finished Familia Romana (or any first-year course) and want a real book - and a real story - to conquer next
- Homeschool families seeking a serious, gripping Latin reader with built-in comprehension support
- Teachers who want students reading connected Latin about one of history's most fascinating figures
- Anyone drawn to Julian - philosopher, general, restorer of the old gods - who wants to meet him in the language of his empire
This is Volume Two: The Empire of a trilogy following Julian from student to Caesar to the throne of the world - and to the fate that waits under the Persian sun. Volume One (The years in Gallia), Volume Two (the shield-raising at Paris and the march east) and Volume Three (Persia) complete the story.
From the publisher of the Dē Bellō Gallicō and Stratēgēmata graded readers. Ultimus Rōmānōrum tē exspectat.
