Why study Latin?

Latin is a fascinating language and it is of great relevance today. By learning Latin you will expand your mind and discover a civilisation whose people were like us in so many ways. They loved a good dinner party! The Romans were also conquerors, warriors, politicians, builders, engineers and so much more. They have produced some of the greatest literature ever written. It was the great poet Virgil, after all, who said “amor omnia vincit” (love conquers all) and it is still thrilling to read “The Aeneid”, his great epic poem about the hero Aeneas who escaped the destruction of Troy and after many years founded the city, which was to become Rome. Or, in a lighter vein, laugh at the well-crafted insults of the poet Martial or feel the passion of the young Catullus.
